Cyprus U17 national team faces Romania in decisive Euro qualifying match

The Cyprus U17 national football team is set to face Romania today, November 2, at 15:00 at the Ethnikos Achnas stadium in Dasaki. This match serves as the final fixture of the first round for the 13th group in the UEFA European U17 Championship qualification.

Cyprus enters the match with one point following their 2-2 draw against the Faroe Islands last Friday. Romania currently leads the group with three points after defeating the Faroe Islands 4-0. The Faroe Islands have finished their tournament obligations with one point and a goal difference of 2-6. A victory for Cyprus would secure them first place in the group, while a draw is also sufficient to guarantee advancement to the next phase.
