UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee announces its decision after Saturday’s game it was cancelled because the Nordics did not come to Bucharest.
The announcement was made by both the Norwegian press and the Oslo Federation.
UEFA decided that Romania won the uncontested match with Norway 3-0
Scandinavian authorities have banned Norwegian footballers from leaving the country after Captain Elabdelaoui’s COVID-19 test came back positive.
According to the Federation, the Norwegians can appeal in the next five days.
Why Romania has to beat Northern Ireland
Under these conditions, Romania can finish in second place if it beats Northern Ireland and Austria beats Norway. If Norway wins the match against Austria, we remain in 3rd place, so we will not be relegated to League C.
Victory with the British it’s more important because in this way we can expect promotion to the 2nd Value Ballot Box in the Q2022 draw in Qatar. To achieve this goal, Serbia must also defeat Russia.
The international press discussed the issue of the Romania-Norway match
People expected the UEFA verdict to be negative for Norway, provided the team did not show up at the stadium to play the match. The Northern Irishmen were disappointed that at the time of the game with Romania they were already relegated to League C because they were in last place, regardless of the result in Belfast.
“The match between Romania and Norway was canceled on Sunday, after the Norwegian team did not receive permission to travel, following a positive coronavirus test.
Most likely, Romania won 3-0 at the green table. Norway have made a whole new batch to play the match with Austria.
Regardless of the decision made regarding the Romania – Norway match, the Vienna match will determine the group winner and which team will move up in League A. Norway needs any win except 1-0 to finish first.“wrote Sky Sports.
“Northern Ireland’s relegation to League C could be confirmed before the team enters the pitch on Wednesday night. News is expected from the UEFA Disciplinary Committee on the game between Romania and Norway, which has been canceled.
The Norwegian team was unable to travel to Romania, according to the rules imposed by the government, and is at risk of losing 3-0 to the “green table”, according to the UEFA protocol on COVID-19 cases.
That will happen if it is decided that the Norwegian federation is to blame for not playing the match. It would be the equivalent of Northern Ireland’s relegation from League B before the game with Romania on Wednesday.“, also published by the Belfast Telegraph.
