The group draw for the 2024 European Championship takes place on Saturday, and the Spanish press has analyzed the possible opponents of the La Roja national team at the final tournament in Germany.

>> Romania has found out its opponents for Euro 2024 – Who will broadcast the draw

Romania can become one of the surprises at Euro 2024, according to the Spaniards from AS

Three-time winners of the continental tournament (1968, 2008 and 2012), Spain top the draw in Hamburg (qualified with seven wins and one loss).

AS journalists do not want Denmark and Hungary to be opponents in the second round, but say that Romania could be one of the surprises at Euro 2024.

“Winning a Euro game would be a success for Romania. The Romanian national team had a perfect course in the qualification group, coming out of the group with Switzerland and Israel without defeat.

Absent from the final tournament in 2020, the Romanians will arrive at Euro 2024 with huge enthusiasm, having managed to reach the second pot of the draw.

So far, the “tricolors” have been present at five European championships, but managed to win only one match (in 2000). There are reasons to believe that they can become one of the surprises of the final tournament.

Nicolae Stanciu is the most capped player among current Romanian footballers. He plays for Damak in Saudi Arabia but was essential for the first team in the previous match, being the most advanced midfielder whether the formation was 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

Edi Yordenescu did a great job, he was able to create a single whole, even if there are veterans and youngsters in the team. If we look at the center of defense, Romania has Burke (30 years old) and Dragushin (21 years old), but they complement each other very well.” AS journalists write.

The Romanian national football team will find out their opponents in the Euro 2024 group on Saturday. The team, coached by Edi Iordenescu, will be drawn into the second most expensive pot in the draw in Hamburg (Elbphilharmonie).

Romania and the version of the hell group from Euro-2024: with France, Holland and Italy

The victory over Switzerland (1:0) also confirmed that the tricolors will be in the second prize pool at the draw on December 2.

21 teams are known to have qualified for next summer’s final tournament in Germany (June 14-July 14), with the bottom three getting their tickets after the Nations League play-offs.

The most difficult group option that the tricolors could have after the draw would actually be going back in time: that is, the opponents we also faced at Euro 2008: France, Netherlands and Italy.

At the opposite pole, we could be drawn in a slightly more accessible group with opponents like Slovakia and one of the winners of the play-offs in route C (Georgia, Luxembourg, Greece or Kazakhstan).

In summary, an easier group might look like this: Belgium, Slovakia, Luxembourg.
