Skopje, October 8, 2026 — The Macedonian MMA Federation confirmed that Daniela Aleksovska and Marko Trajanovski will represent North Macedonia at FNC 34, the first Fight Nation Championship event to be staged in the country. The card takes place on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at the T Arena / Boris Trajkovski Sports Center in Skopje and is scheduled to start at 19:00 before an expected crowd of about 8,000 spectators, with a live stream on FNC.tv across Europe.
Two national prospects on a major European stage
Daniela Aleksovska, named Macedonia’s Young Athlete of the Year for 2025, comes into the cage with notable international results: a bronze medal from the World MMA Championship in Tbilisi 2025 and a semifinal finish at the World Championship in Tashkent 2024. Six of her nine wins have come by submission. Her opponent at FNC 34 will be Mina Hasopulu of Greece.
Marko Trajanovski made history in February 2025 as the first Macedonian to win gold at the European MMA Championship in Belgrade, securing victories over fighters from Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Italy — taking the title at the age of 16. He will meet Luka Lainović of Montenegro in Skopje.
Both Aleksovska and Trajanovski already enjoy strong home support after impressive performances at ARMMADA 14 in September 2025 in Skopje, where they recorded dominant wins in front of a packed Jane Sandanski Sports Center.
Ivica Aleksovski, president of the Macedonian MMA Federation, commented on the significance of the event: "Three years ago Macedonia made its first appearance on the world MMA stage. Today the largest European organization is coming to our country, and in the cage our children enter with world and European medals around their necks. This is not an accident — this is the result of work, system and faith in the Macedonian athlete," noting the federation’s role in bringing FNC to North Macedonia.
The arrival of FNC in Skopje follows an agreement between Fight Nation Championship, the Ministry of Sport and the Macedonian MMA Federation. Organizers and the federation have called on sports fans to fill the arena on October 24 and give the local fighters a strong home advantage.
