Ferenc Rónay or Francisc Rónay (29 April 1900 – 6 April 1967) was a Hungarian-Romanian footballer and manager.
Rónay was the first ever scorer of the Romania national football team, giving them the equaliser against Yugoslavia in their debut, part of the 1922 King Alexander's Cup. Romania went on to win the game 2–1 thanks to Aurel Guga.[1][2] He was also part of Romania's squad for the football tournament at the 1924 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[3] He played for most of his career in Club Atletic Oradea jersey, club for which he played in over 120 matches and scored over 130 goals.[4] Rónay was a football star of the 1920s in Romania and a fearsome striker.
