Sebastian Andrei Borza (born 12 November 2005) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Liga I club Rapid București.
A product of Farul Constanța's academy, Borza made his senior debut in 2022 and won a national title in his second season at the team. In the summer of 2023, he transferred to fellow league side Rapid București.
Internationally, Borza represented Romania under-21 in the 2023 UEFA European Championship.
Borza made his Liga I debut for Farul Constanța on 1 May 2022, aged 16, starting in a 0–1 away loss to four-time defending champions CFR Cluj.[1] [2] On 28 October that year, he scored his first goal with a long-range shot in a 2–1 league win at FC U Craiova.[3]
In the 2022–23 season, Borza appeared in 33 league games and scored three goals to aid Farul in winning the national title. He registered his debut in European competitions on 12 July 2023, starting in a 1–0 home victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round.[4]
On 15 August 2023, Rapid București announced the signing of Borza on a four-year deal.[5] The transfer fee was revealed to be worth €800,000 plus 10% interest on a future sale.[6] He made his debut five days later, in a 3–1 home win over his former club Farul Constanța.[7]
On 15 December 2023, Borza was sent off for the first time in his career after receiving a straight red card in a goalless derby draw at Petrolul Ploiești. On 25 February 2024, he and his teammate Alexandru Albu were expelled from the squad for an undetermined period—later revealed as one match—because they partied in a nightclub after a 1–3 loss to Politehnica Iași.[8]
On 15 June 2023, Borza was selected by manager Emil Săndoi in the Romania under-21 squad for the 2023 UEFA European Championship.[9] He only played in the opening 0–3 loss to Spain,[10] being an unused substitute in the other two group games.
