Individual and team performances, transfers, emotional retirements and controversies make for a dynamic and unpredictable sporting landscape. Football, both at home and abroad, continues to generate the most intense reactions, while other disciplines such as tennis and handball continue to make their mark with notable events and results.
International football
- FCSB: FCSB are working to strengthen their squad to force their way into the Champions League and are looking for a center-back and an attacking spearhead. Marius Lăcătuș and Gabi Balint are of the opinion that Gigi Becali should bring back Ianis Stoica, a striker who, in the opinion of the two, is above Dennis Politic, the player the champions' owner insisted on.
- FCSB/CFR Cluj: FCSB have sent their reserves to Cluj, where they will play their final league game.
