Steaua has suffered a crushing defeat in the final playoff match of Liga 2, losing 2-4 to FC Voluntari and failing to achieve promotion. The club’s manager, Adrian Popa, expressed his disappointment with the result, saying, “It’s a letdown!” This marks the beginning of a difficult period for the military club, where uncertainty looms large over the team's future and the fate of its players.

According to Popa, only two players have contracts with Steaua beyond the summer, leaving the club with significant challenges ahead. The club will need to address these issues and possibly reshape its roster in the coming months.
