The Moldova national football team is the national Football team of Moldova and is controlled by 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 ever 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, Serghiu Secu and Valerii Pogorelov. However, they could not keep up the momentum and finished well out of contention in the group.

The team achieved some fame in the United Kingdom in 1999 when Tony Hawks published a book, ''Playing The Moldovans At Tennis'', about his efforts to beat all the team's players at tennis after a drunken bet.
