What does a hell group look like for tricolors

Romania could end up in the same group as the football powers of the Old Continent, one of the most difficult options being the option where the tricolors will be next to Spain and France. If we add Turkey and Slovakia, we will get a qualifying group of five teams, from which it is difficult to qualify for Euro-2024.

Spain, France (England), Romania, Turkey, Slovakia
