During a meeting on the 23rd of November in Brussels, Macedonia and the other national teams from Group A will gather to discuss and hopefully determine the calendar of the games.
The Belgium football association will host the meeting where officials from Croatia, Serbia, Scotland, Belgium, Macedonia, and Wales will gather in order to reach an agreement regarding the calendar of the group. There has been much talk about the calendar in Scotland where the association will try to avoid a matchup with Macedonia and other Balkan countries in the summer when the weather is extremely warm. This has been caused by what happened during the 2010 World Cup qualifications when Scotland lost 1:0 away to Macedonia in the scorching heat during the summer. However, the worry in Scotland and the rest of Group A is that Serbia and Croatia will not be able to agree on anything due to the animosity between the two countries. In that scenario, if an agreement is not reached, which has already occurred in Group D, FIFA will determine the calendar for the group.
