In men’s handball Champions League, Group B, Dinamo
Bucharest was defeated on Thursday at home by the German side Flensburg-Handewitt,

coach Dan Petrescu’s team were defeated away from home by the Danish side Randers,
2-1. CFR will finish last in its group regardless of the results in the last
match, against the Czech side Jablonec, due in Cluj on 9th December.


This weekend sees games counting towards the 17th
round of the Romanian League One. The only match scheduled on Friday, Dinamo
Bucharest vs FC U Craiova, will be followed on Saturday by games pitting Sepsi
Sfântu Gheorghe on home turf against Chindia Târgoviște, UTA against FC Argeș, and
Rapid Bucharest against CS Mioveni, in Giurgiu. On Sunday, FC Botoșani take on FC

of the round, Gaz Metan Mediaș vs. Farul Constanța and CFR Cluj vs. Academica, are
to be played on Monday. In the current standings, CFR Cluj are in the lead with
42 points, followed by FCSB, with 34, and by Universitatea Craiova and FC

Also this weekend, the city of Cluj-Napoca is
hosting the tennis competition between Romania and Peru. The winner
