We understand the constitutional frame very well and we know that we cannot expect the president to support investments in football infrastructure.
We must understand very well how the responsibilities in the Romanian state are divided between the President, the Government and the Parliament.
Our expectations from the new president are rather in the area of understanding and awareness of the importance of football from a social, economic, public health and diplomacy ”, explained Răzvan Burleanu, according to Sport.ro.
I am sure that Nicușor Dan will understand this role of football very well. All our relationship in recent years between the FRF and the Capital City Hall has been extraordinary, so I am sure we can go to a next stage of football development.
Moreover, we want football in Romania to continue to be the most relevant social phenomenon in our country.
