Christoph Daum in Romania's squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Denmark. Days before his call-up, former Romanian internationals Helmuth Duckadam, Gheorghe Hagi and Laurențiu Reghecampf stated that his omissal from the squad was "unjust". Niță eventually made his debut for the full side on 9 November 2017, entering as a 71st-minute substitute for Costel Pantilimon in a 2–0 friendly win over Turkey in Cluj-Napoca. After Ciprian Tătărușanu announced his retirement from the national team at the end of 2020, Niță played the full 90 minutes in all three 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against North Macedonia, Germany and Armenia in March 2021. In spite of the fact that Romania lost against the latter two, his performances were praised by media and fans alike.
