Rapid's string of failure was not broken even in the seventh round of the Senate qualifiers for the domestic football championship: they lost 2-1 at home to the University of Craiova and, for this reason, had only a sporting chance. To earn a worthy place in the European Cup. There are three rounds remaining in the qualifiers, with the winless Railwaymen from Bucharest now rising to eight points against second and third-placed Universitatea Craiova and CFR Cluj.
As is known, FCSB already clinched the league title at the weekend and it was therefore decided that it will be able to play in the Champions League qualifiers in the 2024-2025 season. However, the struggle for other European places is still in full swing, and what makes it even more interesting is that not all competing teams have obtained the necessary license to participate in European club tournaments.
The Confederation granted permission to all participants in the qualifiers, but only the applications of Galaci Ozelul, FCU Craiova and Cluj University received a positive evaluation from the House of Representatives and, based on the announcement of the local SuperLiga competition, the two best teams in the match. We will have the opportunity to win international participation in the classification. At the same time, the winner of the Romanian Cup will also play in Europe, where, as is known, they will face Vajdahunyadi Corvinol of the Second League Galaçi Ucelul. While the latter will be able to play in the first qualifying round of the Europa League if the latter wins, the Transylvania club's fate remains uncertain. His application is subject to a special evaluation, and according to club officials, UEFA can make a decision in their case after May 6.
At the same time, the top two teams in the House Championship can compete for the Conference League playoffs in a two-stage classification. They will play against each other first, and then the winner can face off against third place in the Senate for an international appearance. Eurosport drew attention to the fact that the regulations also stipulate that only teams with a European license can play in the qualifiers and they must finish at least among the top four in the House of Representatives. If only one team meets the criteria, it can automatically compete with a playoff competitor, and if no team meets the criteria, the third place in the Supreme Council will automatically become a participant in Kuala Lumpur.
