The event will start at 12.00 CET at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Skopje, which is pretty close to the FFM headquarters.

It is not sure that Besa 1976 will take place in the draw as today Open-TV published that the club will not be competing. It is unknown at the moment if there is time to activate Article 54 from the Rules for competition and according to which Prespa should be offered the place. If not, the league will continue with 15 instead of 16 participants.

This also means that the Macedonian Cup will have one participant less.
