- FCSB – CFR Cluj, Romanian Super Cup, is played on Saturday, July 5, on the Ghencea stadium. The match is LiveText on GSP.ro, with real -time information from the stadium, and live on Primasport and Digisport.
Bring in September 2024, striker Daniel Bîrligea (25 years old) did not play for FCSB in matches with CFR Cluj as a result of a clause that stated that the red-blue team must pay 100,000 euros to Cluj if they use it. Now, FCSB has announced that the clause is no longer valid and that the Romanian international will be used.

Ioan Varga, before FCSB – CFR Cluj: “I'm not afraid if Daniel Bîrliga will play”
“How to be afraid? God forbid! Why should we be afraid? I'm not afraid of Ronaldo and I'm afraid of Bîrliga? We go quiet, with the forehead up ”said Ioan Varga for the Sports Gazette.
Brought for two million euros, Daniel Bîrligea checked 46 games in the FCSB shirt last season, scoring 21 goals.
I am glad that, finally, against CFR we will be able to use Bîrligea. I even studied the regulation in the morning and saw that the Super Cup belongs to season 2025/2026, which I enjoy very much. Write black on white in Roaf that the season begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. So we don't have to pay 100,000 euros to play Bîrligea.
Bîrligea has the right to play and will have the right to play in all matches with CFR from now on. He, apart from not beating penalties, was not played in the 4 matches against the CFR. I think it would have been the championship goalscorer.
