Romania debuts at EURO 2024 on Monday, June 17, in the first match, against Ukraine, in its sixth participation in the European Championship, after those of 1984, 1996, 2000, 2008 and 2016.

Romania will also be represented at EURO 2024 by a brigade of referees, consisting of Istvan Kovacs (centre referee), Vasile Marinescu, Ovidiu Artene (assistant referees) and Catalin Popa (VAR referee).

According to regulations, each team will play three matches in the group, meeting each opponent only once. After these matches, the top two teams from each group will qualify for the round of 16, along with the best four third-placed teams.

In case of a tie between at least two teams from the same group, they will be divided – in order – according to the number of points, goal difference and the number of goals scored in the direct confrontations.

As has happened since the resumption of football after the interruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic, five substitutions are allowed for each match, and a sixth being possible in case of extra time in matches with direct elimination.
