Due to Kumanovo’s failure of reaching the second league, the third division group North will not be bale to welcome all 4 winners of the 4.MFL groups, so play-offs will be played.
With the bottom 3 teams being relegated and the North having 4 groups in the lower league, they had to wait to see the outcome of champions Kumanovo in the play-offs for filling the second league. As Kumanovo was defeated by Pobeda with 2:1, they will keep their place in the 3.MFL North for next season and therefore reduced the available slots to 3 instead of the possible 4. No second league side was relegated to the 3.MFL North.
That means that the 4 winners of the lower league groups gravitating to the North will have to enter play-offs in order to decide the 3 participants for next season.
The outcome of today’s draw is:
Pchinja (4.MFL Kumanovo) vs. Studeniçan (4.MFL Kisela Voda) at Kadino stadium in Skopje
New Stars (4.MFL Skopje) vs. R’zhanichino (4.MFL Gazi Baba) at Boris Trajkovski stadium in Skopje
Both matches will be played on Thursday (May 30) at 16:30 CET.
The two winners will qualify for 3.MFL North season 2024/25, while the two losers will enter an additional play-off match to determine the last available spot. That match will be played on Sunday (June 2) at 16:30 CET at the Boris Trajkovski stadium.
Pchinja also featured in the play-offs last season and was unlucky eliminated on penalties.
