Bucharest carries the national team's colours in its name for it: Tricolorii , after the yellow, blue and red of the flag, echoed in the traditional yellow shirt trimmed in red and blue. The Romanian Football Federation, formed in October 1909, put a side out for the first time on 8 June 1922, away to Yugoslavia in Belgrade, and the team has played under Bucharest ever since, now at the Arena Națională, which holds 55,634.

Nothing in the record matches 1994. Romania went to the World Cup that year and beat Argentina 3-2 in the Round of 16 before penalties took them out against Sweden in the quarter-finals, matched only in shape by the run to the last eight of Euro 2000. That side carried Gheorghe Hagi , 124 caps and 35 goals between 1983 and 2000, known abroad as the Maradona of the Carpathians and at home simply as the best Romania has produced. Dorinel Munteanu outlasted him in appearances, 134 in all, while Adrian Mutu stands level with Hagi on goals.

The older honours belong to a different competition: four Balkan Cups, taken in 1931, 1933, 1936 and 1980, before the tournament faded from the calendar.
