List of Romania international footballers

This is a list of Romanian international footballers who have played for Romania's national team, ranked by their number of caps. 903 players have played for the team since its first match in 1922. Some sources show that more players played for the national team. This is because, in 2007, after a recommendation from FIFA, the Romanian Football Federation decided to erase 33 matches played between 1959 and 1984 from the national team's records. Those matches now belong to Romania's Olympic team records.

20 caps or more

Key

GK – Goalkeeper
DF – Defender
MF – Midfielder

Only players with 20 or more official caps are included. The caps for Romania's Olympic team during 1959–2020 are not included. The table is up to date as of 18 November 2025.
