Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Paul Man could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 8.35

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 8.35, 2 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Match19 Aug 2026

Paul Man sends CSC Șelimbăr through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Paul Man obliged against Câmpulung Muscel. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is CSC Șelimbăr.

Match19 Aug 2026

Paul Man settles it late for CSC Șelimbăr

The 89th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Paul Man decided nobody was going anywhere. Câmpulung Muscel had no time left to answer.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Silviu Balaure scores twice — 8.11

Two goals and a mark of 8.11 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Tudor Zoicaş

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. CSC Șelimbăr have done the hard part with Universitatea Cluj, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

CSC Șelimbăr go back to the board over Tudor Zoicaş

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $32.2K — a club that wants Tudor Zoicaş enough to be asked twice.

Match22 Aug 2026

CSC Șelimbăr make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now CSC Șelimbăr have 3 straight wins of it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

CSC Șelimbăr bid $290.0K for Iustin Chirilă

The offer went to Universitatea Cluj this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Yassine El Ouatki signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yassine El Ouatki commits to CSC Șelimbăr for another 4 years.

Squad17 Aug 2026

3 goals for Silviu Balaure

The match ball belongs to Silviu Balaure, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Petrişor Petrescu yet — 8.05

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.05 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $450.0K for Alexandru Tabuncic

CSC Șelimbăr have gone to Dinamo Bucharest with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Yassine El Ouatki stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yassine El Ouatki and CSC Șelimbăr agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at CSC Șelimbăr

Silviu Balaure was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $28.0K for Tudor Zoicaş

CSC Șelimbăr have gone to Universitatea Cluj with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Match15 Aug 2026

CSC Șelimbăr get the job done against CS Dinamo Bucharest

A 3‑1 win over CS Dinamo Bucharest, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Cornel Râpă falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Rareş Bălan gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
