Romania qualified for the final tournament of 2000 UEFA European Championship (in Belgium and Netherlands); also Portugal qualified for this edition (as best runners-up of European zone qualifying groups) and ironically, they found themselves again in the same group (A) in Belgium. This happened in 1996, when Romania and France teamed up again in the final tournament after their participated in the same qualifying group. |
