After the cancellation by the Ukrainian Football Federation, the Macedonian Football Federation has arranged a friendly match against Luxembourg that will be played on 20th August.

In May, the Macedonian football federation arranged a friendly match against Ukraine for the last free date before the start of the WC 2010 qualifications, but only a moth later the Ukrainian football federation canceled the friendly and arranged a match against Poland. Because of the short period, the FFM didn't have big choice so a friendly match against the 152nd placed team on the FIFA ranking list was arranged.

The last test match before the qualification matches against Scotland and Holland in September will be played on 20th August in Luxembourg with the kick-off time and venue still to be decided. Macedonia and Luxembourg have never met before.
