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. 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. The meeting, however, 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.

### Notes

* ↑ Hungary v Romania was played without spectators due to sanctions imposed by FIFA as a result of racist chanting by Hungarian supporters at the friendly match against Israel on 15 August 2012.
