Oina - national sport
Oina, Romania's national sport, is a complex sports game that combines perfectly the thinking with the physical activity. Oina consists of two teams of 11 players, one attacking side or "at bat" (la bataie) and one defending side or "at catch" (la prindere), whose roles switch at half time.
A mixed team of US and Romanian soldiers at the Mihail Kogalniceanu (MK) base in South Eastern Romania faced border police’s oina team Tomis Constanta in a competition of oina. Baseball and oina met on that field in 2007. The Romanian is “similar to, although not as popular as our American baseball”, according to a Joint Task Force East presentation video.
