Raul Florucz has recently begun the process of obtaining a Romanian passport, with the intention of representing the Romanian national football team. However, things have become more complicated in recent days, as the talented winger’s performances for Olimpija have attracted interest from Austria, the country where he was born and raised.
Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick has spoken with the player from the Ljubljana club, informed him that he is counting on him, and included him in the extended squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Kazakhstan and Slovenia. Raul Florucz is currently waiting, and it seems his final decision on which national team to represent remains undecided.
“I’m in a difficult situation right now because both national teams, Austria and Romania, are interested in me. I don’t know yet, we’ll see,” the 23-year-old Raul Florucz admitted to RTV Slovenia, acknowledging that he has not yet decided whether to play for Austria or Romania. Both are respected national teams, though Austria is currently ranked slightly higher.
In the past, Raul Florucz has played a few matches for the Austrian youth national team, all of which were friendly games. He has not yet played in an official match. In the last of the three games, Slovenia was the opponent, losing 0-1. Raul Florucz played the final four minutes for Austria, while Slovenian players such as Nik Prelec, Tio Cipot, Žiga Repas, Martin Pečar, Benjamin Markuš, Gašper Jovan, Gal Kurež, and others took part.
