Claudia Bistrian was first called to the Romania women's national under-17 football team in 2012, for the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification Group 7 that was played in October and November 2012 in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Under-19 National Team edit

Campaign for the U-19 Women's EURO 2014 edit

Bistrian was called up in March 2013 for the 9th edition of the Kuban Spring friendly tournament, where she played a few matches and the Romania women's national under-19 football team finished third and won the bronze medals.

She was then part of Romania women's national under-19 football team in 2013, for the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification Group 2 of the Qualifying Round that was played in July and August 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia.
