19-year-old football player Luca Manolache, who played for Metaloglobus București, tragically passed away after battling severe health issues. Luca had been experiencing dizziness, bloody stools, chills, and fatigue, which worsened over time.

During a match, his condition was so bad that an ambulance was called. On February 28, Luca’s symptoms escalated again, and he called his mother saying, “Mum, I can’t do it anymore.” While in the ambulance, he complained of his vision going black, and sadly passed away before reaching the hospital.
Doctors later confirmed that his body reacted negatively to stomach acid, leading to drowning. The club expressed their shock and sadness, remembering Luca’s passion for football and his positive spirit on the field. The Metaloglobus family extended their condolences to Luca’s family during this heartbreaking time
