Football Federation of Macedonia

What Football Federation of Macedonia does

The Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM) is the national governing body for football in North Macedonia, headquartered in Skopje and affiliated with both UEFA and FIFA. The federation operates the full football ecosystem within the country, organizing the top-tier Prva MFL (12 clubs), the Second MFL, the Women's Football League, the Cup of the Republic of Macedonia, and a comprehensive youth competition pyramid. It governs all national representative teams — senior men's, U21, U19, U17, women's, and futsal squads — and represents the country in international competitions. The president, Masar Omeragic, leads the organization. UEFA Euro 2024 qualification marked the first major tournament appearance for the senior national team, a defining milestone in the federation's competitive history.

FFM's business model is structured as a non-profit federation, with revenue generated from national team ticket sales, official merchandise (including replica jerseys priced at 3,300 MKD), and sponsorship agreements with corporate partners such as KB Bank, Adidas, Hyundai, and Sava Insurance. Additional funding flows from UEFA and FIFA solidarity distributions and development grants. The federation is currently executing a multi-year infrastructure modernization program, including a new stadium in Shtip (2025), the Petar Miloševski Stadium development under UEFA Sustainable Infrastructure Guidelines, and the Western Stand Project at City Stadium Shtip. A new five-year strategic plan in partnership with UEFA, targeting the 2026 horizon, is also in development. Commercialization relies on the national team brand as the primary asset, with the National Arena Todor Proeski in Skopje serving as the flagship venue for major matches.
