European club docked a staggering 94 points 🤯 | OneFootball

The biggest sanction in history?

Folkloric stories are certainly never lacking when it comes to football. Let’s head to Romania, where a third-division club has been making headlines in recent days.

While they were supposed to play in the second national tier, FCU Craiova refused to pay for their club license, resulting in their relegation to Division 3 and an initial 14-point penalty, according to the specialized X account Foot Roumain.

Undeterred, still riddled with debt and with various unpaid wages owed to former players and employees, Craiova was once again sanctioned by the Romanian federation.

But this time, the authorities struck hard by deducting 94 points from the Romanian club. As a result, Craiova finds itself in an absurd situation, with their season already doomed before it has even begun.

Things could get even worse for the third-division side, who are awaiting another decision from the Romanian federation, which could see them excluded from all national competitions. The verdict is expected on September 3.

Is this the harshest sanction you’ve ever seen?
