Florentin Pera's first reaction, after Romania learned the opponents from CM 2025

“We are in the strongest and most balanced group, an aspect that has to motivate us even more to fight until the last drop of energy. No match is won beforehand, which is why it is essential to approach each match with trust, concentration and determination, regardless of the value or name of the opponent.

We set out to rank between the first eight teams at the December World Championship-an ambitious objective, which would be an important step in the preparation for next year's European Championship, hosted by Romania. There we want to evolve to the highest level and to sit between the first six teams.

For the World Championship, we want a united, determined and involved team, with a powerful spirit and sacrifice – capable of achieving positive results and bringing joy to the supporters of the national team.

Last year's European Championship was an important first step in forming a competitive team for this Olympic cycle. The fact that we passed a complicated group, with one of the youngest teams from this final tournament, as well as the victory against a top team, such as Sweden, gives us confidence in the world championship perspective. Come on, Romania! ”, Was the message transmitted by coach Florentin Pera, according to FRH.
