The Football Federation of Macedonia is one of two European associations selected to participate in UEFA's pilot project for the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of club licensing.
The initiative, supported by UEFA, provides a platform for the exchange of information between licensors and aims to encourage cooperation between them, offering them the opportunity to share information and knowledge from other environments in order to strengthen the club licensing system in Europe.
As part of the project, the FFM Licensing Department attended a return meeting in January, hosted by the Croatian Football Association. The same meeting was also attended by Aleš Zavrl, UEFA Head of Club Licensing, and Ivančica Sudac, together with her team responsible for club licensing at the Croatian Football Association (HNS).
In addition to the meeting, our representatives also participated in the annual HNS club licensing workshop organized for all clubs from all ranks of competitions. Around 140 club representatives participated in it and the club licensing system in Macedonia was presented by Filip Popovski.
"We were delighted to have the opportunity to present the Macedonian club licensing system to 140 esteemed representatives of the Croatian football family. This is significant for several reasons, the most important of which are:
Promoting sustainability: The system focuses on financial stability, youth development and professional standards. By nurturing these pillars, we are building a sustainable foundation for the growth of Macedonian football.
Cross-border cooperation: Sharing our initiatives with our Croatian colleagues encourages collaboration, exchange of ideas and collectively raising the standard of football in our regions. Together, we can make a significant impact.
International recognition: Meeting global standards opens the doors for Macedonian clubs to participate in prestigious European competitions, raising our football profile.
Building partnerships"Cooperation with Croatian football representatives strengthens ties, fosters mutual growth and propels both nations towards footballing excellence."
