On Tuesday evening, in the center of Bucharest, Romanian football players and coaches gave up their sports clothes for suits and elegant shoes.
From Gigi Becali, footballers from FCSB, Kopic and the players who lead Dinamo in the fight for the title or the managers Răzvan Burleanu and Gino Iorgulescu, but also former important people from Division A, such as Cristi Borcea, George Copos or Dumitru Dragomir, competed in unprecedented appearances.

Adrian Mutu and Ilie Dumitrescu, known for their elegance, opted for sober outfits, while Dinamo stars Karamoko and Boateng ditched the red on their shirts for grenada jackets.
Daniel Bîrligea, the striker from FCSB, offered a unique appearance, “matching” his suit with an orthosis on his left leg.
Former rivals in the first league, Gigi Becali, George Copos and Cristi Borcea were present in the hall. The owner of the FCSB wore a custom-made suit in Monte Carlo, which cost him 5,000 euros, writes fanatik.ro.
Perhaps the most surprising appearance was that of Marius Șumudica. The free agent coach ditched the sports jacket and made his appearance in a black suit.

At the end of the event, Gigi Becali announced his plans for FCSB in the winter, stating that he wants five players.
“Five players will come. I say we take the championship. I bet my madness on Christ because I love him. Will he leave me now when I need it? I think he leaves me so low that the world can see the comeback. The championship is a miracle, I bet on a miracle.
Five players will come, five will leave. If they don't leave, they'll stay on the bar. You can't, he has a contract, you keep him on the hook. I don't have a name. I know something, but it's pointless. Leave me with Tudose, goodbye! I don't care anymore. I want a central defender, a midfielder, maybe even two midfielders. Maybe left back. There will be five players, I don't know which one. Central defender I took. Central midfielder one or two, striker, left back. It depends on what value I find”, said Gigi Becali.
