Sporting Grelesti: A Season of Resilience and Growth in PowerPlay Manager

 

 

As Season 39 of the Romanian League 2.2 comes to a close, Sporting Grelesti reflects on a challenging but ultimately rewarding campaign. Though the team placed 11th in the regular season with 21 points, followed by a 12th-place finish in the relegation round with 16 points, there’s a strong sense of optimism within the club. And for good reason.

 

 

Thanks to the league restructuring and the removal of the 3rd division, Sporting Grelesti secured their position in League 2.2, avoiding relegation despite their standings. This unexpected stability has given the club a unique opportunity to build strategically for the future.

 

Key Performers and Team Highlights

The club’s top goal scorer, Mihai Kaicsarak, had a stellar season, racking up an impressive 294 goals. His consistency in front of goal was instrumental in keeping the team competitive in many tightly contested matches. Just behind him in the spotlight, Adrian Stan provided the creative spark, leading the team with 107 assists, showing great vision and playmaking ability throughout the year.

Not all stats were shining, though. The aggressive style of play saw Cristian Neagu amass a league-high 48 two-minute suspensions, a figure the team will aim to reduce going forward to maintain better discipline on the court.

In goal, Stanica Radoi put in a commendable effort with a 23.7% save percentage. While there’s room for improvement, Radoi’s experience continues to be a stabilizing factor in the squad’s defensive structure.

 

 

A Financially Sound Year

Off the court, Sporting Grelesti had one of their most successful financial seasons to date. With a total of nearly 12 million earned from standing prize money, and an overall profit exceeding 14 million, the club is in a strong position to invest further in its future.

 

This financial security has already translated into infrastructure improvements. The team proudly completed the construction of 2,800 seats in their home arena and plans to add another 2,000 seats next season. Additionally, management has announced intentions to start building several accessories to enhance the fan experience and operational efficiency.

 

Looking Ahead to Season 40

The roadmap for the upcoming season is clear: investment in facilities will be a top priority. With the core squad showing signs of individual brilliance and the financial foundation stronger than ever, Sporting Grelesti aims to blend performance upgrades with long-term infrastructure development.

While promotion may not yet be on the immediate horizon, the team’s vision is focused on growth, consistency, and strengthening both on and off the field. Season 40 will be about building—not just seats and accessories, but a sustainable and competitive handball club ready to rise in PowerPlay Manager.
