International career

He played his first match for Romania in 2010, being used by coach Răzvan Lucescu to replace Bogdan Lobonț in the last seven minutes of a friendly match against Honduras which ended with a 3–0 victory.[1][2] His second game was a 1–1 against Albania at the Euro 2012 qualifiers and his last game was 2–1 loss against Algeria in a friendly.[1][3][4] He was an unused member at Euro 2016.

Lung was the national team's third-choice goalkeeper, behind Ciprian Tătărușanu and Costel Pantilimon. His last call-up came in November 2019. In 2020, he announced his international retirement, having not played for the national team since 2014. He made a total of three international appearances between 2010 and 2014.[1][5]
