Macedonia U17 will start a qualifying tournament next Wednesday, and FFM unveiled the squad for that occasion.

In a group with the likes of Italy, Scotland and Bulgaria, the latter being the host nation, Macedonia U17 will play one game apiece against those opponents, starting next Wednesday. Manager Vujadin Stanojkovikj decided to call up 17 players and will add one more in the next few days. Looking at the squad, there are not many surprises. Most of the players were also summoned over the past couple of months when Macedonia U17 played friendlies against Cyprus and Hungary.

The roster:

Hristijan Stevkovski – Skopje
Blagojche Ivanov – Metalurg

Andrej Kirovski – Dinamo Zagreb
Antonio Mitrev – Metalurg
