This coming Sunday in Bucharest, Romania’s national
men’s handball team faces Kossovo. A Group 8 match, the fixture counts towards
the second round of the 2022 World Championship preliminaries. Romania’s
national squad is in dire need of a win as this past Wednesday in Kossovo they
only succeeded a draw, 23-all. Sweden is at the top of the table in Group 8,
with 6 points, followed by Romania, with 3, Montenegro, with 2 and Kossovo, with
1 point. The first two teams in each group and the best four 3rd-placed
teams secure their ticket to the final tournament.
