the holder was injured and will be missing at the Super Cup

• The Romanian Super Cup, FCSB – CFR Cluj, is played on Saturday, July 5, from 8:00 pm, on the Steaua stadium. The match can be watched in LiveText format on GSP.ro.

The red-blue goalscorer again accused muscle problems, similar to those after Romania's match with Austria in the preliminaries of the 2026 World Championship. The FCSB striker was missing during February-March due to a similar injury.

Bîrligea is injured, and Alibec will enter the FCSB's attack.

Given that the main goal man of FCSB has muscle problems, Denis Alibec has the chance to check the first match in the second term at FCSB, even in a stake.

Denis Alibec arrived this summer at FCSB and managed to mark in the friendly match against Almere in the cantonment in the Netherlands.

The probable team of FCSB in the Romanian Super Cup

Târnovanu – Cercel, M. Popescu, Ngezana, Radunovic – Şut, Chiricheș – Cisotti, Olaru, Fl. Tănase – Alibec

Daniel Bîrligea and FCSB officials were ready to use the striker for the first time against his former CFR Cluj team. At the time of transfer to the contract there was a clause by which Gigi Becali was obliged to pay 100,000 euros if Bîrligea played against the CFR.

Mihai Stoica had announced that Bîrligea would play against the CFR, but muscle problems have postponed the moment when Bîrligea will play against his former team.

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.
