The possible opponents of the Romanian women's national football team in the World Cup qualifiers

Romania was part of group 5 of League C in these preliminaries, along with the Republic of Moldova and Cyprus. At the end of the group, the “tricolore” came out on top, without conceding a goal and without defeat.

Romania won the group with 10 points obtained in four matches, in second place was Moldova with 5 points.

For the first play-off, they have to play a team from the 2nd or 3rd place in League A. The opponent from the first round will be determined by drawing lots on June 18.

Romania's possible opponents in the first round of qualifying for the 2027 World Cup

• Italy (2nd place in A1)

• Sweden (3rd in A1)

• Netherlands (2nd place in A2)

• Ireland (3rd in A2)

• England (2nd in A3)

• Iceland (3rd place in A3)

• Norway (2nd in A4)

• Austria (3rd place in A4)

England is by far the toughest opponent that Romania could have in the draw. The team from Albion is also the winner of the EURO women's football in 2025, but it also played in the final of the previous World Cup, where it was defeated by Spain.

The most accessible opponents for the “tricolor” are Austria, Ireland and Iceland.

• Denmark, France, Spain and Germany are already qualified for the World Cup, after winning the preliminary groups in League A.

The opponent in the second bracket will also be determined by drawing lots

If it passes the first play-off, which will be contested round-trip, then Romania reaches the last hurdle, the one that is contested with tickets to the World Cup on the table.

The opponent will be another team that will manage to overcome the first stage of the barrier. And this duel will also be determined by drawing lots.

How many teams go to the World Cup from each continent

• Europe: 11 places;

• Asia: 6 places;

• Africa: 4 places;

• North and Central America: 4 seats;

• South America: 3 places + Brazil, qualified directly as the host of the competition;
