FCSB and Rapid agree on reciprocal ticketing deal for upcoming derby matches

FCSB and Rapid have reached an agreement on reciprocal ticketing arrangements for their upcoming Superliga fixtures. Mihai Stoica announced that the two clubs signed a reciprocity contract regarding ticket allocation for away supporters. This deal covers both the immediate fixture and the return leg scheduled for later in the season.

The first match under this new arrangement is set for Saturday, 24 October 2026. It will take place at 21:00 at Arena Națională. This fixture constitutes round 13 of the new season and marks the first direct duel between the two sides this campaign. Rapid fans will receive 8,000 tickets for this match, occupying one entire stand at the venue.

The reciprocity agreement extends to the return leg. Rapid has committed to playing their round 28 home match at Arena Națională. In exchange, they will offer FCSB the same facility and ticket allocation terms. This arrangement resolves previous disagreements, as Rapid had preferred playing home matches at Giulești.

Mihai Stoica stated that the maximum ticket price for the home sector is 50 lei. He clarified that this cap applies to the prices clubs can set for attendees in the home sections. Ticket prices for this derby are higher than those for the recent match against Petrolul.

Specific ticket prices for the FCSB-Rapid derby have been detailed. Seats in Peluza cost 30 lei. Tribuna 2 Inel 3 tickets are priced at 40 lei, while Inel 2 seats cost 50 lei. Tickets for Inel 1 are available for 75 lei. VIP options range from 150 lei for VIP 3 to 300 lei for VIP 1.

Mihai Stoica discussed the agreement with Rapid three days prior to 18 October 2026. The announcement comes as both teams prepare for their respective upcoming fixtures. Rapid enters the derby after defeating Corvinul 2-0 in SuperLiga round 12.

In other team news, Denis Drăguș will not play for FCSB against FC Voluntari as he is not fully recovered. However, Aymen Boutoutaou will be included in Laurențiu Reghecampf's squad for that match. FCSB last defeated FC Voluntari 2-1 in February 2024, while Voluntari's last win against FCSB dates back to September 2020.
