The institution appreciated that the departmental clubs also have the right to promotion, as long as the footballers receive salaries. The situation directly targets Steaua, which has been stuck in the second echelon for many years because it is owned by the Army.
“The Competition Council informed the Parliament that any sports club under public law can be considered a professional club, and a possible amendment to the Sports Law in this regard would not in any way violate the European legislation nor the national legislation on state aid. The document shows that the legal form of organization is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the status of a professional club.
The document is also valid for other public law clubs
According to European legislation, any sports club that pays its employees to play sports is a professional sports club, regardless of the legal form of organization of the respective club. Concretely, according to European legislation, as long as Steaua Bucharest pays its athletes to play football, handball, basketball or polo, then the Steaua club is a professional sports club, regardless of the form of legal organization of the club”was the message by which Stella's fans announced their victory.
According to the document, the same is true for all public law clubs in Romania, such as CS Dinamo, CS Rapid, CSM Bucharest, Corvinul Hunedoara and CSC Șelimbăr.
Management does not get excited
The problem for the star players is that this season the military team did not catch the play-off, so they will postpone the promotion for next season. But also that the club's bosses received the news without much enthusiasm, fueling the rumors according to which they are better off in the second tier and that they are delaying the solution of the problem that drives the red-blue fans out of their minds.
“There are issues of a legal nature that have not been fully clarified until now, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” the captains of the Steaua club sent to newsonline.ro.
