Șomuz Fălticeni, a Romanian Liga 3 team, announced its withdrawal from the league after seven consecutive seasons. The decision, made by Mayor Cătălin Coman, aims to focus on developing local youth teams and reducing costs. The senior team’s low number of local players and high expenses were key factors. The club will continue to operate youth teams and plans to return to national competitions with a more competitive, locally-developed squad.
