Holding first place in its group after the qualifying matches -- which it achieved in competition against The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Belarus, Albania, Slovenia and Luxembourg -- the team, recently ranked 12th by FIFA, will face Italy, France and, again, The Netherlands in Group C. Romania kicks off against France on June 9th in a confrontation seen by the French coach as the "most difficult" match for the team from the Hexagon.
Ipak, tim koji je FIFA nedavno stavila na 12. mesto na svetu, igraće protiv Italije, Francuske i ponovo Holandije u Grupi C. Rumunija prvu utakmicu igra protiv Francuske 9. juna, a francuski trener smatra da će to biti "najteža" utakmica za njegovu ekipu.
