In the Nations League, Romania started in League C and competed in the same group as Montenegro. The players finished five points ahead of Montenegro but were two points behind Serbia. However, thanks to the expansion of the leagues, the Three Colored automatically moved up a level. They found themselves in League B, where they finished third in the group behind Norway and Austria, who were promoted. The only team they managed to surpass was Northern Ireland. The Carpathian team had a disappointing World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign, even though they were in a relatively easy group with a clear favorite—Germany. After the qualifiers, the Romanian national team was led by Mirel Rădoi, who was replaced in January of this year by 43-year-old Edward Iordănescu, who previously worked with leading Romanian clubs such as CFR and FCSB. Under his leadership, the team played two friendlies in March—losing at home to Greece, 0-1, and drawing away to Israel, 2-2.

In the early stages of Ian Baraclough's tenure as Northern Ireland's coach, many doubted his suitability for the role, especially in comparison to his predecessor Michael O'Neill. Under O'Neill's leadership, the team achieved significant success, including participating in Euro 2016 and coming close to qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. However, in the first eleven matches under Baraclough, the Green and White Army did not manage a single win. Despite this, over time, Baraclough managed to improve the team's tactics and motivation, leading to better results. Over the next eleven matches, the team won five times. The World Cup qualifying campaign ended with a home win over Lithuania, 1-0, and a draw with Italy, 0-0. However, despite the improved results, the team faced some challenges. In recent months, the team have dealt with injuries to key players, which has complicated their preparation for upcoming matches.
