Gabriel Sava (born 15 October 1986) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Dundalk in the League of Ireland Premier Division. He was born in Bacău and played youth football for Lazio, before beginning a career in Ireland in 2001. Throughout his career there, he has played for Drogheda Town, Bray Wanderers, Monaghan United, Drogheda United and his current club Dundalk. He has made three appearances in the UEFA Europa League throughout his career and was a member of Dundalk's squad when they became the first Irish side to reach the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League in August 2016.
Sava was born in Bacău, Romania and raised in Rome, Italy. He played youth football for Lazio. In 2001, his family were invited to visit some Italian friends living in Dublin, and his brother was offered a job as a chef at their restaurant in Drogheda. Sava decided to move to Drogheda along with his brother. His first club in Ireland was Albion Rovers before signing for Drogheda United U17s under the management of Paddy Mooney.
After leaving the youth teams of Drogheda United, Sava began playing non-league football with Drogheda Town. He impressed many with a good performance in the 2008 FAI Cup Third Round for Drogheda Town against Bohemians which gave him a platform to launch a career in the League of Ireland. Bohemians were 3−0 winners on the day, but Sava was named man of the match, and in July 2008 Bray Wanderers signed him for the remainder of the season.
