===Ajax===
At Ajax, Chivu developed a reputation as a reliable fullback and a free-kick specialist. Then-manager [[Ronald Koeman]] appointed him as captain of the club. With Chivu as captain, Ajax dominated the Dutch [[Eredivisie]] with an exciting young squad. Playing alongside Chivu were future stars such as [[Rafael van der Vaart]], [[Wesley Sneijder]], [[Johnny Heitinga]], [[Zlatan Ibrahimović]], [[Steven Pienaar]] and [[Maxwell (footballer, born 1981)|Maxwell]]. Chivu played a pivotal role for Ajax in their [[UEFA Champions League]] run in the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|2002–03 season]], when they came to within a minute of the semi-finals. That season, Chivu was in a quintet of Ajax players – himself, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Maxwell, Wesley Sneijder and [[Andy van der Meyde]] – who all went on to later join [[Inter Milan]].{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

In 1999, Chivu was chosen to represent the [[Romania national under-21 football team|Romania national under-21 team]] and quickly made the step up to play for the [[Romania national football team|full side]].

At Euro 2008, he earned plaudits for his performance, keeping previous [[FIFA World Cup]] champions [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and runners-up [[France national football team|France]] at bay, despite being played in a less familiar role as a holding midfielder. He captained Romania through [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 7|World Cup qualification]], but they failed to make the play-offs, finishing fifth in their group. On 21 May 2011, Chivu announced his retirement from the national team.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=36529&L=en | title = Chivu: "Why I'm quitting the national team" | publisher = Inter.it | access-date = 21 May 2011 | archive-date = 12 October 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121012214047/http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=36529&L=en | url-status = dead }}</ref>
