Gică Popescu, the majority shareholder of FC Constanța, praised Universitatea Craiova's championship win, declaring the team "world-class" after their successful season. Craiova secured the Superliga title and the Romanian Cup, showcasing exceptional performance under the guidance of Portuguese coach Filipe Coelho.

Popescu spoke about the Oltenia team's achievements and emphasized their extraordinary maturity and remarkable performance. He noted that Craiova's recent 5-0 victory over U Cluj on May 17, 2026, solidified their status as the new champions of Romania. The team also triumphed in the Romanian Cup after winning via penalties against a team coached by Cristiano Bergodi.

Craiova has just one more match to play in the current competitive season. On May 25, they will face Rapid Bucharest in the final playoff match of the Romanian Superliga.
