33 The Romanian Cup Final Four to be Held in Pitesti

The Romanian Cup Final Four has been awarded to Pitesti. The team which has one Cup title to its name, has won the auction which started at 10.000 lei. The other two teams qualified for the Final Four are CSU Atlassib Sibiu and BC Mures Tirgu Mures. CSU Asesoft Ploiesti and BC Timisoara will play a double for the last spot on the 18th and 25th of March.

The Final Four will take place in the Trivale City Arena between the 2nd and 3rd of April (Thursday and Friday). The schedule of games is as follows:

1. CSU Atlassib Sibiu - BC Mures Tirgu Mures
2. CSU Asesoft Ploiesti / BC Timisoara - BCM U Pitesti

The winners of these two games will play for the Romanian Cup.

The Trivale City Arena is the smallest of all four possible locations. Basketball is highly regarded in Pitesti and most probably there will be a full house, at least for the local team's games. There would be a problem accommodating the visiting fans, but given that the tournament will be held in the middle of the week, the probability of large groups of visiting fans is small.

Ploiesti is 126 km, Sibiu 161 km and Tirgu Mures 275 km's away from Pitesti.

The starting ours are not known at this time.

The games will be broadcast live, but the channel is still unknown.
