On May 31, 2023, the final tournaments were held at the FFM Training Center within the framework of two school projects that were implemented in 104 primary schools across Macedonia throughout the school year.
In the first of them, which FFM in cooperation with FUSM implemented throughout the entire school year - Football Now, Football Everywhere, 76 schools and 6,000 children in two categories, 2/3rd and 4/5th grades, participated; while in the project School Football for Girls, intended for students from 4/5th grades, 28 schools and more than 20 ŽFKs with 550 students participated.
The two projects, which took place in almost 40 municipalities across the country, included schoolchildren, most of whom were introduced to the beauties of the game of football for the first time through regular training sessions held on a weekly basis in each participating school, with the mentorship of their HIF teachers and coaches from participating football clubs who selflessly invested in fulfilling the planned program content, with the aim of bringing football as close as possible to each participant.
After the regional finals were held in May within the framework of both projects, participants from all regions were received, so today on the FFM fields we had the participation of 44 most successful school teams and more than children accompanied by their HIF teachers as well as coaches from football clubs near them. The matches were primarily of a showy nature and were played in a wonderful atmosphere, and FFM provided all participants with participation certificates as well as prizes for the luckiest this year:
Category 2-3rd grade (mixed school teams): 1st OOU Bajram Shabani, 2nd OOU Lirija, 3rd OOU Dimitar Vlahov and 4th OOU M.M. Brico
Category 4-5th grade (mixed school teams): 1. Primary School Gjorgjija Pulevski, 2. Primary School Bajram Shanbani, 3. Primary School Teffeyuz and 4. Primary School Perparimi
Category 4-5th grade (female school teams): 1st OOU Todor Angelevski, 2nd OOU Nikola Karev, 3rd OOU Kocho Racin and 4th OOU Vasil Glavinov
FFM congratulates all participants in the past season, and expresses great gratitude to all involved who, with their dedication, contributed to the planned activities taking place in the best possible order and to today having a wonderful ending. We wish all participants good health, and even more football adventures and successes in the future, with the hope that we will be even more numerous from the beginning of the next school year.
