Team history

Romania’s 3–2 win over Argentina in the round of 16 was the defining match of their 1994 World Cup run, which ended against Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals.

Their best European Championship finish came at EURO 2000, when a win against England helped secure a quarter-final place. Romania returned to the knockout stage at EURO 2024 after finishing first in their group. Gheorghe Popescu, Dorinel Munteanu and Adrian Mutu are among the players linking the team's different modern eras.
