Farul have won the Romanian Superliga football title, but the hard work is only beginning in the preliminary Champions League group matches for the squad coached by Guike Hagi.

Maccabi Haifa, Ferencvaros, Ludogorets or Sherif Tiraspol are among the possible opponents of champion Farul in the first preliminary round of the Champions League

Hagi’s big dream is for the team, whose patron and coach he is, to get into the Champions League groups. However, it will be very difficult for the champions of Romania to break into the ranks of the best club teams of the Old Continent.

The most difficult teams that Farul can overcome in the first preliminary round are Maccabi Haifa (Israel), Ferencvaros (Hungary), Ludogorets (Bulgaria) or Sherif Tiraspol (Moldova).
