Brazilian handball player Eduarda Amorim got
transferred to Romanian title holders CSM Bucharest. Amorim will play for CSM
until the end of the season. So far the Brazilian has been signed up by Russia’s
Rostov Don. Teams from Russia and Belarus have been edged out of the European
cups, which enables their foreign handballers to get transferred to other clubs
by the end of the season. Amorim is officially allowed to play for CSM even in
the Champions League’s quarterfinals, when CSM Bucharest take on Danish
opponents Team Esbjerg. In 2013, 36-year-old Eduarda Amorim was designated the World
Championship’s best handballer. In 2014, Amorim was designated the world’s handballer by the International Handball Federation. In 2020, the Handball-Planet publication
designated Eduarda Amorim the best handballer of the decade.
Time now for news from football. According to the Italian
sports publication Corriere dello Sport quoted by Agerpres, Romanian defender Stefan
Radu was a whisker away from being granted a contract extension by his current team,
Lazio. We recall that in the summer of 2021 Radu got his contract with Lazio extended
by only one year, with the promise that in 2022 he will be granted another 12-month
contract, so that the Romanian can end his career with Lazio. 35-year-old Stefan
Radu has been playing for Lazio since 2008, when he got transferred from Dinamo
Bucharest. Stefan Radu boasts 422 caps for Lazio, a record high for the Romanian.
Of those, Radu had 346 caps in Serie A.
Romanian Football Federation’s acting president, Răzvan
Burleanu, is highly likely to be the winner of a new term in office in the
election for the same position, to be held on April 12. Burleanu is the only candidate
in the race, as the files’ selection commission turned down candidacy files submitted
by Sorin Răducanu and Gabriel Şeitan. Razvan Burleanu has been at the helm of
the Romanian Football Federation since 2014. Back then Burleanu outclassed rivals
Vasile Avram, Gheorghe Chivorchian and Sorin Răducanu.
