International

In contrast to other Szeklers who play for Hungary , Papp plays internationally for his native Romania . He was already active in the junior division at world championships. He made his debut in the men's national team at the World Championships in Division I in 2003 and achieved relegation with his team at the Group A tournament in Budapest with a 3-1 win in the decisive final game against Lithuania . In 2004 and 2005 he played for Romania in Division I, but could not prevent relegation with his team in 2005. Already at the 2006 World Cup , the Romanians managed to win the title in Division II and thus get promoted again. He took part in Division I again at the 2007 and 2009 World Championships . After relegation in 2009, he was on the ice for his colors in Division II in 2010 and 2011 , when he was promoted again and not only achieved the best plus / minus balance, but was also voted the best defender of the tournament. In 2012 and 2013 he played with the Romanians again in Division I. After the Romanians were relegated from Division I in 2014 without cardboard, he led them as captain to immediate promotion at the 2015 World Cup . But even in 2016 he and his team could not stay in Division I.

He also played for Romania in the qualifying tournament for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi in 2014 and in Pyeongchang in 2018 .
