The teams placed on the 13th and 14th place in the Divizia A faced the 2nd placed teams from both groups of the Divizia B. Politehnica AEK Timișoara and FC Oradea won the relegation play-offs.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesr/roem03.html 2002–03 Divizia A at RSSSF]

Even though Oțelul Galați lost the relegation play-off against FC Oradea, they kept their place in the Divizia A because Petrolul Ploiești, the club that won the Divizia B, Seria I, sold its promotion place to Oțelul Galați and merged with Astra Ploiești, the other team from the city of Ploiești, which finished on the 9th position this season.{{cite web |publisher=ProSport |title=De Petrolul s-a ales praful! |date=26 May 2009 |language=Romanian |url=http://www.prosport.ro/fotbal-intern/liga-1/de-petrolul-s-a-ales-praful-4452661 |access-date=2009-05-26}}
