Romania is on track to reach a negative record in the FIFA ranking after the defeat in Istanbul

The Romanian national football team has suffered a significant drop in the FIFA ranking, reaching 55th place, close to its lowest ranking in history, 57th place. After being eliminated by Turkey, the 'Tricolors' have lost ground on the international stage, dropping from 49th place. The defeat against Turkey had a major impact on the points, and the situation is becoming increasingly delicate for the team coached by Mircea Lucescu. On the other hand, Turkey has made an important leap, rising to 23rd in the world. This drop in Romania's ranking influences the seeding pots for future draws, and a further decline could bring stronger opponents in the qualifying campaigns.
