Romania is trying to channel kids' love of soccer into an interest in math with an interesting new program that made its debut over the weekend.
That's when the team took the field against Spain wearing warmups that replaced their jersey numbers with math problems.
When the team took the field the players reverted to their standard number, just in case the referees were not up to date on their multiplication tables.
Romania did not give fans a chance to work on their addition during the Euro 2016 warmup though, as they played Spain to a 0–0 draw.
