Romania defy Bosnia in Zenica, Saturday, November 15, in the preliminaries of the 2026 World Championship. The match will start at 21:45 and will be liveTEXT on GSP.ro, with real-time information from Gazeta Sporturilor reporters.
With a win, the “tricolors” largely secure the 2nd place in group H and more accessible opponents in the spring playoff. In the round, Romania lost at the National Arena, score 0-1.
Who broadcasts on TV Bosnia – Romania
Romania's game with Bosnia will be broadcast on TV on Prima TV.
If the friendly with Moldova was on Prima TV, the match with Austria in the preliminaries went to the other station that has the TV rights, Antena 1.
Romania still has two matches to play in Group H qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
The one with Bosnia promises to be a hot one, given that the two are in a direct battle for second place in the group, which would, in theory, bring easier opponents to the play-off in the spring. Romania – San Marino takes place three days later, on November 18, in Ploiesti.
The “Tricolori” still have a mathematical chance for first place, but second place seems much more realistic. Romania is 3rd, with 10 points, 5 behind the leader Austria. Bosnia is on 2, with 13 points.
In the event that Romania does not finish in 2nd place, it is guaranteed its presence in the play-offs due to its progress in the League of Nations.
