2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group D

The 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group D was a UEFA qualifying group for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The group comprised Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Estonia and Andorra.

The group winners, Netherlands, qualified directly for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Romania placed among the eight best runners-up and advanced to the play-offs, where they were drawn to play home-and-away matches against Greece.[1] However, they failed to qualify for the World Cup after losing the first match and drawing the second.

Matches

A meeting was held on 24 October 2011 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to determine the fixtures. However, the meeting was not successful and a schedule could not be determined. FIFA gave the teams involved until late December 2011 to finalise the schedule, with the set of fixtures determined by a draw held on 21 December in Amsterdam.[2]
