Grigoraș Alexandru Pantea (born 11 September 2003) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Liga I club FCSB.
A youth exponent of his hometown side FCSB, Pantea made his professional debut by starting in a 2–2 Liga I draw with Gaz Metan Mediaș on 21 June 2020. In the process, he became the first player born in 2003 to play in the top flight.[1]
On 7 July 2021, Pantea was sent out on loan to Liga II team Hermannstadt for an undisclosed period.[2] He featured in 28 matches and gained Liga I promotion, before returning to his parent club in the summer of 2022.[3]
International career
Pantea made his full debut for Romania on 20 November 2022, aged 19, after coming on for Cristian Manea in the 70th minute of a 5–0 away thrashing of Moldova. The next year, he was selected in the Romania under-21 squad for the 2023 UEFA European Championship.[4]
Style of play
A full-back, Pantea's ambidexterity makes him capable of operating on both the left and the right sides of the field.[1]
