List of Moldova international footballers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the current national team, see Moldova national football team § Players.
Alexandru Epureanu holds the record for most appearances for Moldova.

This is a list of Moldova international footballers who have played at least 20 matches for the Moldova national football team. There are in total 79 players on the list.

Alexandru Epureanu is the player with the most appearances for Moldova.[1] He made his debut in a 2–0 UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying loss against Norway on 6 September 2006, and has since been a regular in the national team, wearing the captain's armband on several occasions.[2] In September 2019, Epureanu retired from the national team due to a knee injury.[3] However, he returned in August 2020.[4][2] On 31 March 2021, he made his 100th and last appearance for Moldova in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Israel.[5]

Igor Armaș is in second place with 83 appearances, followed by Victor Golovatenco with 79 appearances.[1]

Ion Nicolaescu is the all-time top goalscorer of the Moldova national team with 15 goals in 45 matches. This position was previously held by Serghei Cleșcenco until June 2023, who scored 11 goals in 69 matches between 1991 and 2006.[6]

Moldova's first ever match was a friendly match against Georgia on 2 July 1991.[7] Five of the players on this list took part in the match, including Radu Rebeja and Serghei Cleșcenco.[8][9]

Moldova have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship, so the matches listed below are either qualifying matches for those two tournaments, UEFA Nations League matches, or friendly matches.
