DAN MATEI ȘUCU leaves Rapid București for business career

Dan Matei Șucu has decided to abandon his professional football career and terminate his contract with Rapid București. The decision was made in the summer of 2024, as he chose to pursue business studies instead of continuing in sport. This move marks the end of his time with the club after he had previously served as captain of the Rapid U17 team and scored his first professional goal while playing for them.

The shift away from football coincides with increased involvement in family business ventures. In May 2025, Dan Șucu transferred a 10% stake in Redport Properties Safir to his son, Dan Matei Șucu. This equity was granted specifically for The Level residential project, indicating a clear pivot toward commercial interests following his departure from the pitch.

Rapid București continues its competitive activities in the SuperLiga despite the loss of the player. The club recently saw another member of the Șucu family make an appearance in the top flight. Andrei Șucu made his SuperLiga debut for Rapid against Universitatea Cluj in May 2025, contributing to a 2-2 draw in that match.
