Macedonia revealled the players with which will face Israel and Albania in the September qualifiers.
Macedonia will first head to Haifa to visit Israel on the 2nd of September, while three days later will host Albania in Strumica. For this occasion national team coach Igor Angelovski decided to summon 23 players. Both games are part of the qualifications for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
As expected, Angelovski called up many of the U21 players that were part of the EURO in Poland. Because of that he dropped some standard players like Shikov, Mojsov and Ibraimi.
