Moldovan football has a very diverse history. Since independence in 1991, however, Moldova has never qualified for a European or World Cup. Only as a former part of the USSR and the CIS took Moldova at least officially at the World Championships 1958 to 1990 and the European Championships 1960 to 1992 in part. “Official” because in the Soviet national team Moldovan actors played no role. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in several independent states Moldova participated for the first time in the qualification for the European Championship in 1996. Moldova won their first two games (1-0 in Georgia, 3-2 against Wales), but then lost seven games in a row.

In the end, it was only enough for third place. In six games were scored just four goals, three of them against San Marino, which finished with a gate balance of 0:16 last place.

France – Statistics & Current Form
World Champion France was in addition to Moldova in a group with Iceland, Albania, Turkey and Andorra solved. Although there are supposedly lighter groups, the group stage should not be a major hurdle for France.

However, most of all football fans will remember the year 2002, when France retired as reigning World and European champions in the group stage.
