Csikszereda takes legal action against Romanian football authorities

The Romanian football club Csikszereda has initiated two legal actions at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne against the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) and the Professional Football League (LPF).

The club is contesting sanctions imposed during the previous season regarding the display of Szekler and Hungarian symbols during Superliga matches. According to club officials, the total amount of fines incurred due to these sanctions reached approximately 21,000 euros. The club also disputes a 30,000 lei fine and a report from the Gendarmerie dated October 6.

Zoltan Szondi, president of Csikszereda, stated that the club is contesting the legality of the sanctions and called for political support regarding the use of these national symbols. The first hearings at CAS are scheduled to take place on November 12, 2026.
