Regarding the information that was placed in some of the media, and related to an investigation into match-fixing of domestic clubs, as well as regarding the questions submitted to the Football Federation of Macedonia, we inform that in the direction of full transparency and in order to objectively inform the public, we are sharing the correspondence received from the Integrity Department at UEFA.
These are letters that refer to several matches from the domestic championship and control/friendly matches, for which irregularities related to payments in betting shops have been recorded.
We note that in the published documents, certain sensitive information is appropriately protected (covered), solely in the interest of the investigation and in accordance with the guidelines of the competent authorities. The publication of those parts at this time could harm the ongoing proceedings.
The Football Federation of Macedonia is closely cooperating with the UEFA Integrity Department and with the competent state institutions within their competences, in order to fully clarify all allegations and suspicions.
At the same time, we emphasize that the FFM is not an investigative body, but rather acts in accordance with the information received and in coordination with the institutions that have legal authority for further action.
Currently, there are indications for several more matches, including the match between FK Bashkimi and FK Vardar Negotino from the Second MFL of the 2025 season played on March 24, but due to the sensitivity of the process and in the interest of the investigation, additional information will be shared with the public when the cases are at a more advanced stage.
Regarding the match between FC Kozuf and FC Bashkimi, as is already known, it is under legal proceedings. For these reasons, in the interest of the investigation, we are unable to share any information.
The FFM remains fully committed to protecting the integrity of the competition and will continue to actively cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in the fight against all forms of irregularities in football.
