Moldova's home ground is Zimbru Stadium in Chișinău and their head coach is Serghei Cleșcenco.

[8] In 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification Moldova lost 6–0 against Sweden, which stood as its biggest defeat for almost 20 years.

[11] In a 2006 friendly against Lithuania, Serghei Cleșcenco scored his 11th and last goal, remaining Moldova's top goalscorer until 2023.

[12] In UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Moldova finished fifth in the seven-team Group C with 12 points, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 1–0 and Hungary 3–0.

[17] The Moldovans finished only above San Marino again in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying, but they beat Montenegro 5–2 and drew with Ukraine and Poland.

In UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying Moldova suffered another disappointing result, a 0–1 loss to Andorra, finishing last in the group.

[21] After losing to Kazakhstan on penalties in 2020–21 UEFA Nations League relegation play-outs, the Moldovans were relegated to 2022–23 UEFA Nations League D. Moldova was tied on points with Latvia, but because of a lower goal difference placed second, failing to achieve promotion.

The Moldovans came agonisingly close to a historic Euro debut, acquiring ten points in a group of five; the Moldovans also gained an impressive feat by being undefeated at home throughout the qualification, including a historic shock 3–2 comeback win over Poland[22][23] and were one win away from qualifying for UEFA Euro 2024.

[24] However, a denting away loss to the Czech Republic in the final matchday killed off Moldova's qualification hopes, as they finished fourth and were eliminated due to an inferior record.

The Moldova national football team plays its official games at Zimbru Stadium in Chișinău.

It is located in Vadul lui Vodă, a village along the Dniester River, approximately 25 kilometres from Chișinău.

The team also played its home matches in UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying and some friendlies, the latest in 2013, at Sheriff Arena in Tiraspol.
