The Macedonia A national team officially began preparations today for the upcoming friendly matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo (29 May) and Türkiye in Istanbul (1 June).
At the gathering held at the Hilton Hotel, the head coach and coaching staff had almost all the called-up footballers at their disposal. Captain Enis Bardhi and Elif Elmas were absent from the national team base and will join the national team tonight, while Agon Elezi is expected to arrive tomorrow.
One of the debutants in the senior team, Din Alomerović, did not hide his delight at being called up to the A national team and stressed that this was the fulfilment of his long-held dream.
„The feeling is wonderful; I am here with great honour and pleasure. It was my wish from a young age for the day to come when I would play for the A national team. Previously, I was a member of all the youth categories, and now, thanks be to God, I have found myself here in the senior team as well. Through my good performances and thanks to the coaching staff, my wish has come true.”.
„I know half of the players, but I want to believe in the team. I know that we have the quality to compete with everyone, including Bosnia and Türkiye. Everything depends on the coaching staff and the way they set us up. I think we will not have any problems in these two matches,“ Alomerović said.
Macedonia will play a friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo on 29 May, while on 1 June in Istanbul it will face Türkiye. Both national teams are participants in the World Cup.
