Notes on source availability
While the existence of the 1998 Supercupa României and its participating clubs is confirmed by multiple secondary references (e.g., season summaries of Romanian football), detailed match statistics (scoreline, goal scorers, referee, attendance) are not comprehensively covered in major encyclopedic databases such as Wikipedia or official federation archives accessible as of the latest update. Therefore, the article refrains from presenting unverifiable specifics.
