Rapid – Dinamothe derby of the 28th stage of the Superliga, will finally be played at the National Arena! Professional Football League (LPF) changed the schedule of the stage, so that the game will take place in the biggest stadium of the country.
The match will take place on Saturday, February 21, starting at 20:30.
Initially, the game was scheduled for Sunday and could not take place at the Arena. The reason? 24 hours before, FCSB received the visit of Metaloglobus, also in the country's biggest stadium, and the guarantee of the turf would have been canceled if two matches had been played there in such a short period of time.
This is the situation in which Dinamo recently found itself. The “red dogs” could not rent the National Arena for the championship duel with Petrolul (Friday, January 30), because FCSB – Fenerbahce had been played in the Europa League on the 29th.
