SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea wins 3-2 pre‑season friendly

On July 4, 2026, newly promoted Liga 2 side SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea defeated the junior team Luceafărul Drobeta Turnu Severin 3‑2 in a pre‑season friendly at the Zăvoi stadium. All five goals were scored in the first half, with Eric Nistor converting a penalty, Brian Lemac and Alexandru Sălcianu adding the other strikes.

Coach Constantin Schumacher said the squad has largely found the players he needed, noting that the club has fulfilled its financial obligations and is providing players with two meals a day, which he considers crucial for those coming from outside the city. He stressed the goal of not only remaining in Liga 2 but also advancing beyond mere survival.

The win follows earlier summer tests in which SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea beat Viitorul Budești 4‑1 and drew 1‑1 with future Liga 2 rival CSM Slatina. Upcoming friendlies are scheduled against CFC Argeș (July 10), CS Afumați (July 15), Steaua București (July 18) and CSC Șelimbăr (July 25).
