Austria and Romania Clash in World Cup Qualifier in Vienna

VIENNA, Austria — Austria will host Romania for a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier at Ernst Happel Stadium on June 6, 2025. Both teams are eager to secure important points in Group H, with Austria looking to leverage their home advantage and Romania aiming to build on their strong form.

The two nations have faced each other twelve times since 1924, with Austria winning three matches, losing four, and drawing five. In their last five encounters, Austria has won two and drawn two against Romania, with one loss coming in 2020.

Austria enters this qualifier looking to bounce back from a disappointing run in the UEFA Nations League and will be under pressure, having gone three matches without a win. The team recently lost to Serbia in the Nations League Play-Offs in March 2025.

Meanwhile, Romania sits second in Group H after a loss to Bosnia & Herzegovina earlier this year. The Romanian side is keen on continuing to push for the top position within their group.

Kickoff for the match is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET, and fans can watch the game live on various streaming platforms, including Fubo Sports Network.
