9th tier club FC Romania have thankfully been SAVED by a new sponsor in the 12th hour after an 8-month struggle for survival.
The Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division outfit, based in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, had been battling to avoid going out of existence. They stressed they needed a new investor.
They got to the playoff final last season, but lost to Leverstock Green, nonetheless a brilliant achievement for FC Romania in just getting to the final considering how this season was for them, without training and without financial support from November 2023.
The club are now able to prepare for the 2024/25 season and have issued the following statement.
You can still donate to their GoFundMe page by clicking HERE, or you can also go attend one of their matches in the new campaign.

STATEMENT:
Ion Vintila issues a club statement regarding the current situation of FC Romania:
Good evening to everyone who supports us and follows our club’s activities!
After an 8-month period in which we struggled to survive with modest sums through small but greatly helpful sponsorships from those who sentimentally support this club, and being close to a new promotion due to the tireless efforts of the players and the club’s staff, I am issuing this statement:
During these months, I personally asked and implored companies and individuals in various forms (posts, donations, sponsorships, co-ownership) to save this club. I was lied to, ignored, and refused. I rejected offers of sales and various collaboration proposals, ALL to keep our hope alive.
But today, I have news that fills our hearts with joy and hope: our project WILL CONTINUE with the help of GOD, thanks to the lifesaving support provided by our new main sponsor, AC1 DEVELOPMENTS and AC1 CONSTRUCTION.
At the 12th hour, when we needed it the most, AC1 DEVELOPMENTS and AC1 CONSTRUCTION, two of the most respected construction companies in the UK, chose to stand by us.
By purchasing the main sponsorship package, they have become more than sponsors – they have become OUR HEROES, allowing us to continue our dream and achieve our ambitious goals.
This collaboration fills us with hope and strengthens our determination to move forward.
We are deeply grateful to AC1 DEVELOPMENTS and AC1 CONSTRUCTION for their faith and trust in us, and we promise not to disappoint.
@T20Barnett: The next step is getting supporters through the gate! More hard work ahead, well done on securing your future 👏🏻
Thank you to everyone who believed in us, those who hoped with us, and those who supported us in these difficult times. We continue together, stronger and more determined than ever.
#AlwaysTogether 🇷🇴🏴

No club should ever have to experience liquidation, so to find a sponsor who stood by FC Romania is brilliant.
A club with so much class, good luck for the future https://t.co/a9RNIWubyk
