UEFA has confirmed that the Europa League group stage match between Rangers and FCSB (Steaua Bucharest), originally scheduled for this week, has been postponed. The decision was made due to unforeseen logistical and safety concerns surrounding the event.
According to UEFA’s official statement, a combination of severe weather conditions and local infrastructure issues in Bucharest has raised concerns over the safety of the teams, staff, and fans traveling to and from the match. Authorities in Romania reported extreme flooding in several regions, leading to disruptions in public transportation and power outages in certain areas. UEFA, in consultation with local officials, determined that the risks associated with proceeding as planned were too significant.
Both Rangers and FCSB have been informed of the decision, and UEFA has pledged to announce a new date for the fixture in the coming days. Fans who have already purchased tickets will be advised on rescheduling procedures or offered refunds, depending on their preference.
The postponement marks a significant disruption in the Europa League schedule, as both teams were preparing for this crucial group stage match. UEFA has reiterated its commitment to prioritizing safety in such situations.
