After FCSB’s 3-1 win over Inter Club D’Escaldes in the Champions League preliminary round, Romania has temporarily surpassed Hungary in the UEFA coefficient rankings. Romania currently sits at 23rd place, tied with Hungary and Slovakia at 19.750 points. This shift is significant, as it reflects Romania’s strong performance in European competitions and sets the stage for a competitive season ahead. The direct implication is that Romania aims to maintain or improve its standing to potentially avoid the first preliminary round in future Champions League seasons.
