“We are doing a championship with 12 teams”

Gino Iorgulescu believes that the Superliga should have only 12 teams, and the licensing process should be stricter. He does not give a clear date when these changes could be implemented.

Gino Iorgulescu, the announcement of the moment in the Superliga: “If we put it on paper and we are clear to perform and perform, they should accept a championship with 12 teams”

“We should do a championship with 12 teams. As you can see, there are not many teams, there are no stadiums, there are no conditions. And we are going to go to the licensing, to put much tougher conditions so that it can work in League 1

There's another problem! When they play in European cups, we no longer have data to postpone some matches. If there were fewer teams, we would have enough data.

If we put on paper and are bright to perform as well, they should accept a 12-team championship. It would also finish the play-off and play-out at the same time and the values ​​are also focused. The money is divided among fewer teams and there is more for each. And they can take more valuable players”, said the head of the LPF, according to prosport.ro.

• The current system, one with play-off / play-out, brings to the start 16 teams that play in a round-robin format in the regular season

• At the end of the regular season, the points are halved, and the top 6 teams enter the play-off for the fight for the title, and 10 teams enter the play-out for the fight to avoid relegation.

• At the end of the play-out, the last two teams are relegated directly, and the next two go to the play-offs.

• The first echelon of Romania has 16 teams from the 2020-2021 season at the start.

Marius Mitran, the director of communication at LPF, had brought up the change of format the other day, but he was then talking about a milder reduction, to 14 teams.
