Team history

They have not yet played at a EURO or World Cup finals, but the EURO 2024 qualifying campaign brought them within reach of a first appearance much later into the competition than in many earlier attempts.

A 3–2 comeback win over Poland in June 2023 was the campaign's standout match. Moldova eventually finished fourth, having remained in contention until the last round. Promotion from League D in the 2024/25 Nations League supplied another team milestone, beyond the individual careers of players such as Serghei Cleșcenco and Alexandru Epureanu.
