Following the abandonment of the Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo in Bucharest, UEFA awarded the match 3:0 to the hosts. This means that Romania has been promoted to League B.

Kosovo were three points behind in the table. Due to racist and discriminatory behavior by the home fans, Romania will have to play their next home game in front of empty stands.

The Kosovars walked off the pitch in stoppage time on Friday evening with the score at 0-0. The team felt provoked by Romanian fans who allegedly chanted "Serbia" in the stands.
