North Macedonia
The North Macedonia national football team, governed by the Football Federation of Macedonia, has competed under FIFA and UEFA since 1994 following independence from Yugoslavia. Known as the Red Lynxes, the team achieved its greatest moment by qualifying for UEFA Euro 2020, their first major tournament appearance. In the play-off, North Macedonia famously defeated Germany 2-1 in World Cup 2022 qualifying, one of international football's biggest upsets. The team plays home matches at Toše Proeski Arena in Skopje. Talismanic captain Goran Pandev played an instrumental role in the team's rise, scoring crucial goals throughout his international career. Current stars include Elif Elmas of Napoli and Stefan Ristovski. North Macedonia's qualification for Euro 2020 marked a watershed moment for Macedonian football, inspiring a new generation of players.
