U21: Macedonia – Northern Ireland postponed

Macedonia U21; photo: ffm.com.mkThe match between Macedonia U21 and Northern Ireland U21, scheduled for later this month, has been postponed to a later date due to the bad weather conditions.

The Macedonian U21 national team was supposed to play its fourth qualification match of Group 4 for the 2013 UEFA U21 tournament  at the end of the month on 29 February against Northern Ireland, but the match was postponed for 10 May due to the bad weather conditions in Macedonia.  FFM asked UEFA to postpone the match due to the freezing conditions and after Northern Ireland also agreed with the move, the match was rescheduled for 10 May. 

The match was to be played in Kumanovo, but the pitch there is frozen and the players would have been at risk with injuries. Therefore, the match will now be played at a later date after both U21 national teams, along with UEFA, agreed to move back the fixture to 10 May.
