The U17 national team player Elif Elmas is the newest product of the Rabotnichki academy to move to a well known club in a good league.

Elif Elmas is still only 16 years old and plays in midfield. He was tested a few times by the Dutch top division club Heerenveen, something that eventually resulted in a transfer. However, he will stay at Rabotnichki as a loaned played until his 18th birthday. Then, he will start his adventure in the Netherlands. Elmas was born on September 24, 1999, so he will join Heerenveen two years from now.

Elif has played in the last four friendlies for the U17 national team of Macedonia. Those include the two against Cyprus in August (win and loss) and the two against Hungary in September (two losses).
