Džani Alioski recalled as North Macedonia fly to Switzerland
Džani Alioski is added to the squad after an injury report; Goce Sedloski's record remains ZERO ahead of the October 6 match.
North Macedonia's national football team flew to Switzerland on 05.10.2026 with a late change to the travelling party: Džani Alioski has been added to the squad after being earlier presented as injured.
The decision comes as Goce Sedloski continues to reshape and refresh the team; the new coach's record is ZERO. Sedloski has rotated the roster in recent matches and is seeking his first positive result since taking charge.
Alioski's reintegration provides additional options on the flanks for the match scheduled for 6 October 2026. The squad arrived to finalise preparations and will hold an official press conference and a training session tonight ahead of the fixture.
Match details and expectations
Team officials said the players will face an organized Swiss side whose coach is expected to make "three to four" changes to his starting lineup for the game. North Macedonia will count on vocal support from the travelling fans — organizers expect at least 600 supporters in the stands.
Sedloski has emphasised youth and rotation while chasing better outcomes after a string of mixed results; the coaching staff and players now turn attention to the match in Switzerland and the immediate challenge it presents.
