The Untold Festival, held on 7-10 August 2025, gives the headaches to those at Cluj Universitywhich will not be able to evolve on their own ground at the matches in the Conference League preliminaries. Thus, the people of Cluj will have to move from the city and have chosen the stadium in Sibiu to host the confrontations in Europe.
Neluțu Sabău's team qualified for the first time in the superligation play-off. He finished in the fourth position and obtained the tickets for the second preliminary round of Conference League. However, he will not be able to play the matches at home, because the Untold festival will be organized on the stadium in Cluj. The organizers need even several days before to prepare Cluj Arena, which will be busy for several weeks.
Only if the Conference League play-offs from U Cluj will be qualified in their stadium.
U Cluj moves to Sibiu for the matches in Conference League
“Unfortunately, these days I had the obligation to send them to UEFA the stadium where we will play. Unfortunately, whether we play in the first or second leg on our own ground, we will have to play in Sibiu.
I had discussions in the last days with the ones from Untold, insofar as we could have a dialogue with the others from UEFA. Untold begins on August 7.
That is, we could have had a dialogue with those from UEFA, in which to have played, possibly, the first leg, to be agreed, to play the first leg on July 24 on Cluj Arena. Unfortunately, we could not reach a consensus with those from Untold. I understand them too.
Since previous years, they entered somewhere on July 19-20, there would have been four days, five days of delay. They already have difficulty finding people to build all that the scene means and the whole setup there and that would have meant working at night. It's a big minus. We would have wanted to play on Cluj Arena, especially after all the years.
Unfortunately, in order to play Cluj Arena, we must pass two tours: July 24-31 and then August 7-14. It is only in the 4th round, practically, it is the play-off of groups ”said Radu Constantea, the president of those from the University of Cluj, quoted by stcj.ro.
