Romania

Federaţia Română de Fotbal
Founded: 1909
Federation: UEFA
- Romania's first game came against Yugoslavia in 1922 and were one of only four European teams to make the 15-day voyage to Uruguay to participate in the first World Cup in 1930.
Until recently Romania had an excellent record against England. They were one of only five teams to have a better head-to-head record, but the last match in June 2021 saw England's 1-0 win bring this 21 year advantage to a close.
The first match between the two occurred in 1939 and was the last match England played for 6 and a half years as the Second World War intervened.
The first competitive meeting was in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico when England won 1-0 thanks to a Geoff Hurst goal.
