Romania made history in the last sixteen of the 2024 edition of the Euro Championship. However, their mission ended with a 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands. But despite leaving the Euro, Romania has taken everyone’s heart. After the game, they left a letter after tidying up their dressing room.
UEFA published a photo of the letter on its website. There is also a picture of a neat and tidy dressing room. Neatly decorated, the Romanian team left the dressing room in the same condition as it entered. The UEFA officials and the stadium administration are very upset about the matter.
In the letter written in Romanian and German, the team wrote, ‘Euro 2024 is a great experience in the history of football in Romania. One of the most important parts. This year’s Euro is held in Germany, we are very satisfied and happy. With every match, every experience, every emotion of this year’s Euro, we have become one with football.
It was also written, ‘When we leave Germany, we know that we played for Romania with everything we had. We are grateful to the Germans for the experience here. We are proud to be part of the European football family. As long as I was in Germany, I felt like I was at home. Thanks for this sentiment. We are grateful for this hospitality.’
After a long break of 8 years, playing in the Euro Championship for the first time, Romania showed a surprise by defeating Ukraine 3-0 at the beginning. They advanced to the second round by topping teams like Belgium in the group. Despite a good start in the last 16 match, Romania did not do well against the Netherlands.
Their best success at the Euros was a quarter-final appearance at the 2000 tournament. Having played in the finals of the Euro Championship six times so far (1984, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2016 and 2024), they have only managed to get past the group stage twice. But above all, they won the hearts of countless people.
