The Romanian national team missed the qualification in the quarterfinals of the men's football tournament at the Tokyo Olympic Games, after finishing tied with New Zealand, 0-0, in its last Group B match.
Romania's Olympic team needed a win in order to qualify further, after 1-0 with Honduras and 0-4 with South Korea, but they failed to do so, in front of a very well organized and superior team in terms of physical training.
The Romanian national football team returned to the Olympic Games after a break of 57 years, finishing the participation in third place in the group, tied with New Zealand, but with a lower goal difference.
