Stories never told like this before, about a period when our national team reached third place in the world, achieved the record of three consecutive qualifications to World Cups and two consecutive qualifications to European Championships, and competed on equal footing with the greatest teams in the world, will be featured in the documentary Come on, Romania!.
These days, Romania’s national team faces the most important match of the year—the playoff against Turkey for qualification to the FIFA World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada this summer, broadcast exclusively within the Antena Universe. LIVE from Istanbul, on match night, Antena 1 will feature commentary from national team legends Gică Popescu and Florin Răducioiu, along with other personalities, as well as footage of Romanian fans and post-match interviews with the players and head coach Lucescu immediately after the final whistle.
