Romania’s FCSB football club is facing a tough situation with only 13 players available for their match against Mioveni due to a COVID-19 outbreak that has affected 14 players and the entire coaching staff The team’s owner, Gigi Becali, has been vocal about his opposition to COVID-19 vaccinations, stating he’d rather be “shot with a gun” than get vaccinated ¹. However, he claims he doesn’t forbid his players from getting vaccinated, saying they know his stance on the issue and choose not to get vaccinated because they “love and respect” him
This isn’t the first time Becali’s views have sparked controversy. As the owner of FCSB, he has been known for interfering with the team’s management, often appointing coaches with no experience or those who share his conservative views His political career has also been marked by nationalist and homophobic rhetoric, earning him criticism from various groups
In this current situation, FCSB has had to get creative to field a team, with former goalkeeper Eugen Nae stepping in to help with coaching duties The match against Mioveni will surely be a challenge, but the team is looking for ways to overcome their adversity.
