Romulus Buia is a Romanian former football player who operated as a winger and earned the nickname "Figo from Berceni" while playing for Rocar București due to stylistic similarities with Luís Figo. He made his professional debut at 18 for Minerul Cavnic in Divizia B before joining fellow second-tier side FC Baia Mare at age 19.
Buia represented Romania internationally, debuting against the United States in a 1991 friendly and appearing against Mexico in 1992. During the 1991–92 season, FC Barcelona monitored his progress, and coach Johan Cruijff invited him to train with the Catalan side in summer 1992, though the transfer ultimately did not materialize.
Former Dinamo București and Romania youth international Darius Buia plays for CSC Ghiroda and Giarmata Vii in Liga 3 after overcoming multiple serious injuries.
