Romania is back in a primary foreign festival for the first time since 2016 when it began its Euro 2024 crusade against Ukraine.
After a follow-up era to Euro 2016, the Romanians returned to the top of a qualifying organisation with unbeaten Switzerland, Israel and Kosovo as well.

Ukraine, meanwhile, made it through the play-offs to triumph at the tournament, having reached the quarter-finals three years ago before losing to England in Rome.
Of course, it’s unseemly to talk only about football issues given the context, but the appointment of former Tottenham and West Ham striker Sergei Rebrov and a really talented squad explain why the optimism.
Romania vs Ukraine is scheduled to kick off at 2 p. m. BST on Monday, June 17, 2024.
The Allianz Arena in Munich will be the host.
TV channel: The adjustment will be broadcast free-to-air on BBC One. Coverage begins at 1:30 p. m.
