The latest season has come to an end for Carpeni Athletic in the Romanian League 2.3, with the team finishing in 15th place.
While the league performance was challenging, that position did allow the club to participate in the League Cup tournament. Unfortunately, their journey was short-lived, exiting in the first round after a tough 4-0 defeat against FC Academica.
Carpeni Athletic also faced early disappointment in the Romanian Cup, suffering a heavy 8-0 loss to Eireann in the opening round.
Despite these setbacks on the pitch, the team has seen glimmers of individual brilliance. Josef Viciu emerged as the club's top scorer, netting 13 goals over the season, while Adrian Mureșan led the team in assists with an impressive 12.
Between the posts, goalkeeper Emanoil Lazăr had a tough season, finishing with a save percentage of just 54.5%, reflecting the defensive struggles the team faced throughout the campaign.
However, Carpeni Athletic’s story this season isn't only about match results. Off the field, the club continues to make impressive progress in areas that will support long-term success. Financially, the club recorded revenues of over €123 million, the majority of which has been invested in the expansion and modernization of the stadium.
Speaking of the stadium, fans can look forward to an additional 4,000 seats being completed next season, along with upgraded amenities such as improved fast food services and VIP boxes. These enhancements are not just for show – they are part of a broader strategy to increase matchday revenues and strengthen the club’s financial base.
Looking ahead, the focus remains on stadium expansion, which the management sees as a cornerstone for future growth. But infrastructure investments won't stop there. Plans are in motion to gradually improve club facilities, particularly in training, management, and maintenance departments.
While Carpeni Athletic may have struggled in terms of results this season, the foundation for a stronger, more competitive future is clearly being laid. With continued development and smart investments, the club is aiming to rise again – not just in the league standings, but as a sustainable and respected football institution.
