Together with the U21 team in the EURO 2021 campaign
Durby Sports Marketing will ensure through its LED perimeter advertising systems the exposure of its partners and the Romanian Football Federation to the matches on their own ground of the U21 team in the qualification campaign for the 2021 European Championship hosted by Hungary and Slovenia.
After an exceptional final tournament this summer in Italy and San Marino, Mirel Rădoi's students started the series of games in the 8th qualifying group with a close loss on Denmark's ground, the main counter-candidate to win the group and direct qualification. Starting with EURO 2021, 16 teams will participate in the final tournament: the two host groups, Hungary and Slovenia, will be joined by the directly qualified winners of the 9 groups and the best 2nd place. The other 4 places will be occupied by the winners of a playoff in the double header in which the 8 teams qualified for the second place will have matches. Therefore, direct qualification will be largely decided based on very good results on home field, the dates for the games disputed in the country being the following:
10 October 2019: Romania – Ukraine
14 October 2019: Romania – Northern Ireland
14 November 2019: Romania – Finland
31 March 2020: Romania – Denmark
13 October 2020: Romania – Malta
Thus, the U21 Romanians open the series of games on their own ground in the arena "Ilie Oana" in Ploiești in the company of Ukraine, and four days later they will face off Northern Ireland at Voluntari, on the "Anghel Iordanescu" stadium. The matches of the U21 national team from the preliminaries for EURO 2021, from home and away, will be broadcast by PRO TV.
Regardless, the public's interest in the evolution of the young Romanian players who will represent us at the Tokyo Olympics until the final tournament of EURO 2021, is at record highs. The generation that brings us back to the Olympics after 56 years brought 3.5 million viewers in front of the television sets, in the golden minute of the Germany-Romania match in the EURO 2019 Semi-finals. Moreover, 2.6 million viewers (14.5% rating points and 35.9% market share, national target) watched the match with France, and the golden minute was at 22.48, when 3,099,000 viewers (17.4% rating points and 39.4% share) watched on TVR 1 the decisive match for qualifying in the semifinal for the Romanian team. On top of the TV audience, it must be emphasized that the exhilaration caused by the return to a final tournament after 20 years brought many spectators to the grandstand at the last two games of the EURO 2019 qualifying campaign, both at the Cluj-Napoca match with Wales, as well as the decisive game with Liechtenstein from Ploiesti, registering a number of over 12.000 spectators for each of them.
"We are pleased to be involved again in organizing important U21 Romanian matches and, as we have proven over time, it is routine for us to provide top services for our partners even when the matches are scheduled on a short notice. The level of professionalism of the DSM team allows us to offer services to international standards, appreciated by our partners and clients", said Bobby Durbac, General Manager of Durby Sports Marketing.
