The Romanian men's handball team failed to advance to the semi-finals of the 2018 FISU World University Handball Championship in Rijeka, Croatia, despite a smashing win on Friday, 42-29 (19-15) over Taiwan in Group B, according to Agerpres

In the previous matches, Romania defeated Poland (28-20) and Japan (29-25) and lost to South Korea (20-28), a defeat that led to the failure to advance to the semi-finals.
Defending champion Romania ended the group on the 3rd place. Only the first two best placed advanced to the semi-finals. Japan ranked first with 6 points, followed by South Korea, 6 p, Romania, 6 p, Poland, 2 p, Taiwan, 0 p. Romania had the weakest score in direct matches against Japan and South Korea.
Romania will still play for a spot on the 5th to 8th place.
