On Friday, June 16, at 21:45 at the Fadil Vokri Stadium in Pristina, the match between Kosovo and Romania in Group I of the Euro 2024 preliminary tournament in Germany is scheduled to be broadcast live by Antena 1.

Romania started the qualifying match for Euro 2024 with two wins and wants to continue this course in the match against Kosovo.

Kosovo are 3rd in Group I with two points, four behind the top two, Switzerland and Romania, having drawn away to Israel and at home to Andorra, drawing 1-1 in both matches.

Kosovo is coached by Alain Giresse (70), a former great of France, European champion as part of the Galician Rooster national team in 1984, who also coached the first representative teams such as Georgia, Gabon, Mali, Tunisia and Senegal.

Kosovo has not lost five matches since September of last year, since then they have recorded one victory (5-1 against Cyprus in the League of Nations) and four draws (two in friendly matches, two more in official matches). in preliminary matches before Euro-2024).

The most representative players from Kosovo are Amir Rrahmani (Napoli) – team captain and head of the selection team (51), Mergim Voivoda (Torino), Milot Rashica (Galatasaray), Bersant Selina (Stoke City), Edon Zhegrova (Lille) and Vedat Muriki ( Mallorca) – the country’s top scorer (23).

“We are preparing enough surprises for Romania, which are based more on the strength of the group than on individual individuals. This is a team in search of golden years, which has made a great start to the current campaign, and this forces us to be even more cautious,” said Alain Giress.

Romania are second in Group I with six points, sharing Switzerland (who have the advantage on goal difference) after winning their first two games, 2-0 away to Andorra and 2-1 at home to Belarus (Andorra and Israel have one point each).

Tricolor coach Edi Iordenescu was left in place following relegation to League C from the Nations League, and in two friendlies played last autumn, Romania suffered a 1-2 defeat at home to Slovenia and a 5-0 win away to Moldova.

Romania have some notable absences: Florin Nita (Pardubice), Ionuc Radu (Auxerre), Vlad Kirices (Cremonese), Nikusor Banku (University of Craiova), Rezvan Marin (Empoli) and Florin Tenase (Al Jazeera), but Janis Haghi ( Glasgow Rangers), more than a year after surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

“We have to prove that we deserve more than Kosovo to get to Euro 2024. Kosovo is definitely a contender, they have players in Ligue 1, La Liga, Serie A, players who have won titles in Belgium, Italy, Turkey. Therefore, we expect an extremely competitive game in Pristina, and we must look like a competitive team,” said Edi Iordenescu.
