>> Strong message from Sepsi officials after decision to replay FC U Craiova 1948

On March 16, at 21:00, a replay of the match between Sepsi and FC U Craiova 1948 from the Super League will take place.

According to the source, the replay will take place on Thursday, March 16, from 21:00. The match can be watched live on Digisport, Orange Sport and Prima Sport.

The Appeal Commission of the Romanian Football Federation on Thursday, March 9, decided to replay the Super League match between Sepsi and FC Craiova 1948 (interrupted due to xenophobic chants).

Initially, the FRF Disciplinary Commission ruled that the match between Sepsi and FC Craiova 1948, which was interrupted in the 26th minute due to xenophobic chants from Olten supporters, was won by the hosts 3-0 behind the green table.

Adrian Mititelu appealed, confident he would have the decision reversed, after he discovered in the regulation that matches could only be stopped for racist chants, not xenophobic chants, and Thursday’s decision proved him right.

After this decision, the Super League standings changed, and now Kraiova Mititelu has a place in the playoffs.
