The 2010–11 Liga I is the ninety-third season of the top-level football league of Romania. The season commenced on 23 July 2010 and will end on 21 May 2011.[1] A winter break where no matches will be played is held between December 11, 2010 and February 18, 2011. A total of eighteen teams participate in the league, with CFR Cluj being the defending champions.
Teams
Politehnica Iaşi, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Unirea Alba Iulia were relegated to Liga II after finishing the 2009–10 season in the bottom three places. Ceahlăul and Alba Iulia made their immediate return to the second level, while Politehnica Iaşi ended a six-year tenure in the highest football league of Romania. 15th-placed team Pandurii Târgu Jiu, who originally were to be relegated as well, were allowed to remain in Liga I after Internaţional Curtea de Argeş withdrew from the league because of financial reasons.[2] Internaţional thus returned to Liga II after having been promoted the previous season.
The four relegated teams were replaced by the champions and runners-up from both 2009–10 Liga II divisions. Victoria Brăneşti and Sportul Studenţesc Bucureşti were promoted from Seria I while FCM Târgu Mureş and Universitatea Cluj were promoted from Seria II, with Victoria and Universitatea Cluj being constrained to play their home games on grounds in other cities (than home based) as their did not meet Liga I requirements.
