The friendly match between Romania and Colombia is scheduled for Tuesday 26 March at 21:30 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid and will be broadcast live on Antena 1.

Romania, one of the participants of Euro-2024, plays the most important preparatory match for the final EC tournament against Colombia, which is fully qualified for the World Cup-2026 and also prepares for Copa America-2024.

Romania qualified for Euro 2024 after winning Group I without defeat (six wins and four draws) and with only five goals conceded, managing to beat Switzerland: 2-2 (d) and 1-0 (a), Israel : 1-1 (a) and 2-1 (d), Belarus: 2-1 (a) and 0-0 (d), Kosovo: 0-0 (d) and 2-0 (a) and Andorra: 2 -0 (d) and 4-0 (a).

In the last match, also a practice match, Romania drew at home with Northern Ireland 1-1 at the National Arena on Friday 23 March (23 players / Teide 7).

“We wanted to see certain players, see others who haven’t played for a while. We made the first 11 to check, to look for solutions and to get answers, but at the same time we are connected to the next test, with Colombia, where you will see quite a lot of changes,” said the coach of the “tricolor” Edi Iordenescu. .

Before Euro 2024, Romania will play two more friendlies against Bulgaria (June 4) and Liechtenstein (June 8), both at home at Steaua Stadium in Bucharest.

Attention, Romania has not suffered a single defeat in the last 12 matches, official and friendly, in which they have recorded seven successes and five draws (last lost on November 17, 2022 against Slovenia 1:2 in a friendly match played in Cluj-Napoca).

Colombia are 3rd in the South American qualifiers for the 2036 World Cup with three wins and three draws (the top six qualify directly), and in their last official match they won 1-0 against Paraguay (November 22, 2023).

Since then, the team led by Nestor Lorenzo played three more friendly matches: 1:0 with Venezuela (December 11, 2023, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA), 3:2 with Mexico (December 17, 2023, California, in Los Angeles , USA) and 1-0 with Spain (March 22, 2024 at the Olympic Stadium in London).

It should be noted that the South American team has not suffered a single failure in the last 20 competitive games, official and friendly, with 15 wins and 5 draws (the last time they lost on February 2, 2022, 0:1 away to Argentina). !

On July 9, 2024, Colombia will play another friendly away in Landover, Maryland, against the United States, before taking part in the 2024 Copa América (June 20-July 14), where they are drawn in a group with Brazil, Paraguay and Costa Rica.
