The clash is set to take place at the Mardan Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey, providing a neutral ground for both teams to showcase their skills.

Match Preview

The Rise of North Macedonia and Moldova Both North Macedonia and Moldova have embarked on journeys of improvement and resurgence in international football. North Macedonia, having participated in their first major tournament at Euro 2020, finds themselves in a rebuilding phase after missing out on Euro 2024. Despite being placed in a challenging group with heavyweights like England and Italy, they managed commendable draws against these top teams. Looking ahead, the UEFA Nations League presents a golden opportunity for North Macedonia to assert their dominance and aim for promotion.

Moldova, on the other hand, has shown signs of significant progress. Despite a disappointing World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign, their recent performances, including taking points off Poland and drawing with Albania and Czech Republic, highlight their potential. This match against North Macedonia serves as a vital test for Moldova as they continue their quest for improvement.

Team News and Lineups

The team aims to utilize this friendly to solidify their lineup and strategy, with players like Dimitrievski, Alioski, and Elmas expected to play crucial roles.

Moldova’s Emerging Talent Moldova’s squad sees changes with the absence of veteran defenders Ion Jardan and Vadim Bolohan, making way for new talents like Victor Mudrac. Ion Nicolaescu, the star striker, remains the focal point of Moldova’s attack, having proved his worth in the qualifiers.
