Romania’s footballers swapped their traditional squad numbers for maths problems during Sunday’s international friendly against European champions Spain in Cluj, says TheHindu.com.The idea is part of an initiative to help combat the school dropout rate in Romania, listed at 18 per cent in 2014, which is one of the highest in the European Union. The equations were printed on the back of training tops and worn during the warm-up, while an instructional video aired at the Cluj Arena before kick-off. “Football and mathematics are not mutually exclusive,” said Romanian Football Federation president Razvan Burleanu.
