FC Voluntari put up a strong performance against Steaua Bucharest in Ghencea, but it wasn't enough to secure promotion directly. The team will now have to navigate the playoff hurdles to reach the Superliga. "We have shown that we deserve to be in the top league," said Florin Pîrvu, FC Voluntari's coach.
In the 10th stage of the Liga 2 playoffs, held on Saturday, May 16, FC Voluntari took on Steaua in an away game. To secure direct promotion, they needed to both defeat Steaua and rely on Sepsi OSK not beating Chindia Târgoviște on home turf. However, the match did not go as planned, leaving FC Voluntari with the task of fighting through the playoffs to achieve their goal.
This is just a setback for Voluntari. They've shown they can compete with the big boys in Bucharest. Now, it's playoff time, and that's where the real battle begins. Let's see if they can pull off the promotion miracle!
