The match against Progresul, in September, ended 1-1, but Dinamo was punished with a forfeit with a 3–0 loss due to threatening or abuse from the players or coaches against the referees.
In Europe, Dinamo was eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Cup.
The season ended in April to allow the national team to prepare the 1994 FIFA World Cup. After the season, the teams from Divizia A, without the national players, entered the newly-formed League Cup. Dinamo reached the regional final, but lost against Rapid who eventually beat UTA in the competition final.
