The general impression is that our team has a lot of work to do to improve itself in the future. We couldn’t provide more information about our team’s performances at this tournament because there is nothing written about it on the official web site of the Football federation of Macedonia.
Croatia won the tournament with a 4:0 win in the final against Romania.
