Licensing Administration within the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) published the official results of the financial evaluation for the clubs that applied for the Superliga license, valid for the 2026-2027 season.
The big surprise of this audit is represented by Corvinul Hunedoara, a team barely promoted on the first stage, which surpasses the traditional forces in the championship in terms of positive economic indicators.
The rigorous analysis was carried out by the federation's specialists in strict accordance with the provisions of article 66bis of the National Regulation of Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability.
Corvinul Hunedoara, in the top of the teams with excellent financial situation
FRF inspectors verified the balance sheets and audited financial statements of all elite groups as of December 31, 2025.
The purpose of this annual approach is to prevent the economic collapse of clubs in the middle of the season and to ensure a fair competition based on financial fair play.
“The evaluation is carried out using the audited financial statements of the clubs and is based on eight indicators that analyze aspects such as liquidity, solvency, profitability, the level of salary costs, operational cash flow, dependence on certain sources of income and short-term financial perspectives”, announces FRF.
Excellent financial status
These clubs recorded the best results in the analysis carried out based on the indicators provided for by the regulation, demonstrating a high level of stability and financial sustainability.
Good financial situation
The clubs included in this category present financial indicators that reflect a good level of stability and the ability to sustain their current activity under normal operating conditions.
It is worth noting that several clubs that in recent years have constantly invested in infrastructure, academies or groups of players are in this category, confirming the existence of solid financial bases.
Financial situation to improve:
Being in this category does not represent a sanction and does not directly influence the right to participate in competitions. However, it indicates that, on 31 December 2025, certain elements analyzed by the financial evaluation system generated lower results than the other clubs in the sample.
