Poli Iasi At the last moment it will avoid the relegation to the “green table” in the context in which Tuesday is the last day of extinguishing the debts of the first league clubs.
The Moldavian group was practically in Liga 2 months, when debts of 650,000 euros they made it impossible to fulfill the financial criterion for licensing for season 2025-2026.
The situation changed radically towards the evening, when the accounts of the club from Iasi were fully fed. As a result, the Moldovans began to pay their pressing debts, the payments without which the license could not be obtained to be concluded on Tuesday.
That is, on the last day the first league clubs must prove that they have no debts to December 31, 2024 or arrears are staggered.
Poli Iași avoided relegation at the last moment »promises of 4 million euros from the Local Council
Apart from their own resources, Poli came out of the deadlock with money from Iași City Hall and from the President of the Board of Directors, Cornel Șfaițer (59 years).
The municipality of Iasi has recently approved the club's support with 4 million euros in 2025. However, enough voices expressed their reserve related to the allocation of the entire mentioned amount, especially after last year's episode.
Although he had given assurances that he would give the Polytechnics 2 million euros, as he had given in 2022 and in 2023, during which Iasi was a year and a half in Liga 2, Iași City Hall transferred one million euros to the seniors from the Copou club.
This totally destabilized a band that had entered into preventive agreement on December 1, 2024, when other large arrears, of about 3 million euros, were staged for payment in the next four years.
The things related to the real contribution of the Iași City Hall this year will be clarified after the club's aspiration of the first installment approved by the Iași Local Council, of 1.2 million euros.
Until then, Cornel Șfaițer, who borrowed Poli in the past, gave a new help to the club on which he came in 2022.
About the financial problems in Iași, a club that is in the 10th place in Superliga, with 23 points, the team coach, Vasile Miriuță (56 years) had discussed on Saturday.
I would lie to say that there are no problems. When I came here I knew very well what problems they are, when they would be solved. The management clearly told me that the money will enter April.
This is the most important thing to tell the truth beforehand. I prefer an unpaid but united team, than a paid and divided. When you are told that on the 2nd or 3, you are given the money, we must trust.
