Romania are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Romania's 1994 World Cup run remains their only appearance in the quarter-finals. Gheorghe Hagi inspired a 3-1 group-stage win over Colombia and then helped beat Argentina 3-2 in the round of 16, before Sweden ended the Golden Generation's campaign on penalties.
