The U21 national team coach Boban Babunski has called up 19 players for the 2015 EURO qualifier against Azerbaijan on the road.

Macedonia opens the new qualifiers for the 2015 qualifications on Saturday with a road encounter against Azerbaijan. It will be the only Group 8 game as the remaining three teams of Israel, Portugal and Norway are currently at the 2013 EURO (hosted by Israel). That just illustrates the strength of the group.

Babunski will have to strive for 3 points without his son and best player in the U21 squad, David Babunski, as he has games for the Barcelona youth team but he is also suspended due to a red card in the previous qualifications. However, Aleksandar Trajkovski and Stefan Ristovski will strengthen the squad as they were withdrawn from the senior team to help the U21 team for the Azerbaijan qualifier.
