FCSB remains in the spotlight as they continue their campaign in both domestic and European competitions. The club recently advanced in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, overcoming Inter D’Escaldes with a narrow 4-3 win on aggregate, despite some struggles in their recent fixtures[1]. On July 30, 2025, FCSB is set to host Shkendija in Bucharest for the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round, needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit after a frustrating first-leg loss in Tetovo[2][6].
FCSB, under coach Elias Charalambous, have shown patchy form in recent matches, with just one win in their last five outings in all competitions[2]. Their latest Liga I fixture ended in a surprising 2-1 home defeat against Farul Constanta, which has raised new questions about their early-season performance[2]. Nonetheless, FCSB holds 9th position in the Romanian Liga I standings as of late July[1].
In terms of squad composition, the team’s roster includes key players such as goalkeeper Ștefan Târnovanu, defenders Chiricheș and Creţu, midfielder Olaru, and forward Florin Tănase[4]. The transfer window remains open until September 8, 2025, allowing for potential late squad adjustments[3].
FCSB’s continental journey continues with hopes to progress further in the Champions League qualifiers. A positive result against Shkendija in the upcoming home leg could see them reach the third qualifying round for Europe’s premier club competition[2][6].
