Romania turn down compensation offer
Romania have turned down Italy's offer of compensation after Wednesday's friendly with the World Champions was cancelled following the death of a police officer who was killed in the Sicilian derby riot on Friday.
"Sergio di Cesare [FIGC Official] told us that compensation will be paid for the inconvenience, but the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) refused the money," FRF director Ionut Lupescu said on Monday.
Lupsecu said the offer was turned down out of sympathy and that Romania hoped the friendly set for Siena could be re-arranged for later this year or in early 2008.
Romania will now meet Moldova in a hastily-arranged friendly in Bucharest on Wednesday.
