Teodora Meluță (born 3 August 1999), often known as Teo Meluță,[1][2] is a Romanian footballer who plays as a defender for Politehnica Timișoara and the Romania women's national team.
Career[edit]
Meluță has been capped for the Romania national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[3] She was 15 at the time of her debut, making her the youngest footballer to ever represent Romania.[4] On 26 January 2021, it was announced that she was transferring to Swiss club Lugano.[5] Unfortunately, after just seven games, Teodora suffered a fracture of the tibia-fibula and needed surgery.[6] In August 2021, she came back to Romania and transferred to the recently formed team, Politehnica Timișoara.[7]
During her time at Olimpia Cluj, the club won five consecutive league titles, two national cup titles and Meluță herself was declared Romanian Footballer of the Year twice.[8]
