Crisis in Romania! The banner displayed during the match against Kosovo…
An open banner in the stands left its mark on the match between Romania and Kosovo in Group I of the Euro 2024 Qualifiers. Romanian fans behind the goal of the Arena Nationala stadium in Bucharest, capital of Romania, opened a banner while played the game.
Seeing the “Kosovo is Serbia” banner, Kosovo headed to the locker room as a team. Representatives from Romania and Kosovo and UEFA officials met.
Meanwhile, the Romanian footballers went to the stands where the banner was open and asked the fans to remove it.
