From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moldova national football team is the national football team of Moldova under the auspice of the Football Association of Moldova. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, they played their first match against Georgia on July 2, 1991.
Their two best results came within a month of each other in the mid-1990s, during the qualifiers for Euro 96. On September 7, 1994, they beat Georgia 1-0 in Tbilisi with a goal from Ilie Oprea. A month later, on October 12, 1994, they defeated Wales 3-2 in Chişinău; the Moldovan scorers were Serghei Belous, Sergiu Secu and Valerii Pogorelov. However, they could not keep up the momentum and finished well out of contention in the group. The great hope of Moldovan football is the teenage sensation Masal Bugduv who has been watched by a host of top clubs around Europe. At just 16 years of age, he has already been named in the country's provisional squad for the forthcoming World Cup campaign. Miroslav Stochkoft is also in contention to be called up to the national team very shortly[citation needed]
