Romanian football activity continues across domestic leagues and international youth competitions.

On the international stage, the Romania U17 national team has secured its first-ever qualification for the World Championship in Qatar. The tournament is scheduled to run from November 19 to December 13, with players Tudor Coșa and Eduardo Bodnar included in the squad. Romania will compete in Group K alongside Mexico, Venezuela, and Cameroon.
