The FRF Disciplinary Commission convened on Friday, 6 November 2026, to adjudicate an enforcement request within the ongoing insolvency proceedings concerning FC CFR 1907 Cluj SA and Roger Rodrigues Figueira. The session addressed specific legal motions filed by both parties involved in the financial dispute.

Acting pursuant to Article 85.3.a of the Disciplinary Regulations, the commission formally admitted the requests submitted by player Roger Junio Rdrigues Figueira and the club. This regulatory provision served as the legal basis for accepting the joint application regarding the enforcement procedure currently under review by the national federation's disciplinary body.

As a direct result of this decision, the disciplinary panel lifted the existing measure that prohibited FC CFR 1907 Cluj SA from conducting any football-related activities. The removal of this sanction restores the club's operational capacity within Romanian football structures while the broader insolvency case remains active.

Despite the lifting of the immediate ban, the insolvency proceedings have not been concluded. The commission established a future timeline for the case, granting a new hearing term set for 12 January 2028. This extended date indicates that oversight of the club's financial compliance will continue for more than a year.
