The Moldova national football team ( ) represents Moldova in association football and is controlled by the Football Association of Moldova, the governing body for football in Moldova. Moldova's home ground is Zimbru Stadium in Chişinău and their head coach is Gavril Balint. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, they played their first match against Georgia on July 2, 1991.

Their two best results came during the qualifiers for Euro 96, with wins over Georgia (1 � 0) in Tbilisi and Wales (3 � 2) in Chişinău. The team has never qualified for the final stages of the European Championship or the FIFA World Cup.

Following Moldova's 4 � 0 defeat to England in September 1997 the British writer and comedian Tony Hawks travelled to Moldova to challenge and beat all 11 Moldovan international footballers at tennis. The feature film version of the book of the same name, Playing the Moldovans at Tennis, was filmed in and around Chişinău in May and June 2010 and will be premiered in the Moldovan capital in the spring of 2011.
