* According to the officials of Voluntari, the team that would use the stadium of the town would be required to bear the name of the town
* Mayor Florentin Pandele claims that due to the crisis, the project of the sports complex, worth EUR 80 million, is no longer a priority, even though its feasibility study has been approved
A big entertainment and sports complex is planned to be built at the location of the former garbage dump of the town of Voluntari, which will require an estimated investment of approximately EUR 80 million. The project raised a lot of interest when Voluntari still counted as one of the booming towns in Romania, thanks to the real estate boom, but after the crisis came, it was left without funding, just like many other projects all over the country.
Florentin Pandele, the mayor of Voluntari, said for BURSA that the future complex would span 11.5 hectares, with a built surface of 35,918 sqm and a gross building area of 63,471 sqm.

The latter will be used for indoor sports, as well as for cultural, artistic and entertainment activities. The complex will also feature a 4-star hotel for the guests, with 28 rooms and another 4-star hotel for athletes, as well as restaurants and conference rooms.
