Romanian and Moldovan national sports preparations

Overview

Romanian and Moldovan national sports teams are navigating various stages of international competition. In rugby, the Romania U20 team is preparing for the World Rugby U20 Challenger tournament in Chile, with a training camp at CSN ‘Elisabeta Lipă’ Snagov. The senior national team, coached by David Gérard, has announced a 54-player squad for the Nations Cup in Bucharest, with matches scheduled against Tonga (November 6), the United States (November 14), and Canada (November 20).

In football, the senior national team, led by Gheorghe Hagi, has begun its UEFA Nations League Group B4 campaign. Following a period of setbacks, Hagi expressed optimism that the squad has a “very large margin of progress” as they prepare for fixtures against Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Poland. The team is scheduled to host Poland at the Arena Națională on November 14.

Youth programs have seen mixed results. The U21 squad suffered a 7-1 defeat against Spain, which triggered a Romanian Football Federation (FRF) investigation into staff members for a “disciplinary deviation and a lack of professionalism” after they were seen attending a party in Ibiza during the official program.

Recent youth developments include the U17 team starting its Euro 2027 qualifying campaign with a 4-0 victory over the Faroe Islands, featuring goals from Victor Oniga, Ștefan Nastac, and David Loghin. The U19 squad, coached by Marin Ion, is set to compete in the second round of the EURO 2027 qualifiers in Italy from November 11 to 17, facing Italy, Israel, and Ukraine. Additionally, the U20 squad is preparing for the Elite League, with head coach Adrian Iencsi selecting a preliminary squad that includes six players playing abroad, ahead of an away match against Switzerland on November 13.
