The Romanian national soccer team was temporarily considered one of the strongest teams in Europe in the 1990s. Although Romania had already participated in the first three world championships (1930, 1934, 1938), it was not until the 1990s that it caused an international stir. In particular, Romania's footballer of the century Gheorghe Hagi was responsible for the increase in the national team's performance. With him as a playmaker, she was able to qualify three times in a row for the World Cup (1990, 1994, 1998) and twice for the European Championship (1996, 2000). At the 1994 World Cup, the Romanians made it to the quarter-finals by defeating Argentina . There, however, the team had to admit defeat against Sweden on penalties.
history
Beginnings until 1938
The Romanian Football Association was founded in 1909, but FIFA did not join until 1923. The year before, on June 8, 1922, there was the first official international match. In Belgrade, Yugoslavia was beaten 2-1. In 1924 a Romanian selection took part in the Olympic Games in Paris, which were eliminated in the round of 16 against the Netherlands.
Romania took part in the first three football world championships in 1930, 1934 and 1938, but were always eliminated in the first round. In 1930 Romania finished second in the group. The decisive group game was lost against eventual world champions Uruguay. In 1934 they were defeated by the later vice world champions Czechoslovakia in the round of 16 with 1: 2. Four years later, Romania lost to Cuba in the second round in a replay after the first game after extra time was a draw.
1952-1990
After the Second World War, a Romanian selection took part in the Olympic Games in Finland in 1952 , but were eliminated in the first round against Hungary. After that, Romania could only rarely qualify for the major football tournaments. At the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo they reached the quarter-finals. At the 1970 World Championships Romania lost to reigning world champions England 0: 1 and the eventual world champions of this tournament, Brazil, 2: 3. In 1984 Romania qualified for the European Championship for the first time . In France, however, they were eliminated as the bottom of the group.
The Romanian heyday 1990-2000
During the 1990s, the Romanian national team around Gheorghe Hagi had its international breakthrough. In addition to him, important players such as Gheorghe Popescu , Dan Petrescu , Dorinel Munteanu and Ilie Dumitrescu shaped the team. Right at the beginning of the decade, Emerich Jenei played at the World Cup in Italy, where Ireland had to admit defeat on penalties in the round of 16. After a short low and failure in the following European Championship qualification, they returned to the international stage under Anghel Iordănescu . At the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the eleven of the 45-year-old coach got into a frenzy and made it to the quarter-finals. The round of 16 against Argentina caused a sensation. In a brilliant game, the Romanians prevailed against the reigning vice world champion 3-2 in a game that would then be crowned the best of the tournament. In the following game against Sweden you had to accept the equalizer towards the end of extra time due to a goalkeeping error by Florin Prunea . After a miss by Miodrag Belodedici in the following penalty shootout, the course of the Iordănescu-Elf ended in the USA in the quarter-finals.
The subsequent European Championship in England was reached, but the team around Gheorghe Hagi completely disappointed and was eliminated as the bottom of the group with 0 points. Two years later, the team presented itself much better at the World Cup in France and reached the round of 16, in which they were eliminated 0: 1 against an up-and-coming Croatian team. The aging golden generation was able to celebrate a successful conclusion at the following EM 2000 in Belgium and the Netherlands.
After Victor Pițurcă led the team to the European Championship, he had to pack his bags due to a dispute with superstar Gheorghe Hagi. In his place, Emerich Jenei was called up again, who was able to leave both England and Germany behind with his team and thus only failed in the quarter-finals against later European champions Italy with 0-2.
Since 2000
In the period that followed, the Romanian team was unable to build on these successes: in qualifying for the European Championship in 2004, despite outstanding players like Cristian Chivu and Adrian Mutu, they narrowly failed to Norway and Denmark; Romania could also not qualify for the 2006 World Cup finals. In 2008, the team was able to confidently win the group in the European Championship qualification, but then failed in the preliminary round of the tournament. For the 2010 and 2014 World Cup finals, the qualification was again missed. Qualification for the 2016 European Championship was successful, but the team failed in the preliminary round. After that, Christoph Daum was the trainer until 2017 , after Josef Uridil (1934) the first trainer from abroad.
