CFR Cluj makes tax payment as bankruptcy looms, beats Voluntari 5‑0
CFR Cluj is confronting a severe financial crisis that threatens insolvency and a possible withdrawal from European competition. Club president Ioan Varga confirmed that the team has paid a €150,000 instalment to the Romanian tax authority ANAF and plans to settle the remaining balance in August, part of a €1.5 million repayment schedule.
Players Andrei Cordea and Karlo Muhar lodged memoranda with the Romanian football federation to recover unpaid wages, and the club remains under a FIFA transfer ban for past debts. Despite the turmoil, CFR Cluj secured a convincing 5‑0 SuperLiga victory over FC Voluntari, aiming to bolster its league standing and generate revenue needed to stabilise its finances.
