FK Vardar lodged an official protest saying Tikvesh used player Okere Ebube Visdom with a disputed medical certificate; FFM will review the case.
The Football Federation of North Macedonia (FFM) has confirmed that FK Vardar filed an official complaint alleging the improper appearance of a player for GFK Tikvesh 1930 in the Macedonian Cup round of 16 match played on 28 October 2026.
Details of the complaint
According to the federation, the complaint reached the FFM archive on 29 October 2026 and concerns player Okere Ebube Visdom, who wore number 23 and was listed in the visiting side’s starting lineup.
Vardar’s grievance states that the player’s file in the FFM KOMET system contains a sports-medical certificate issued in the name of Miloš Spasovski, with the medical examination dated 2 July 2026. The complaint further alleges that Miloš Spasovski has not been a member of GFK Tikvesh 1930 since 3 September 2026.
FK Vardar invokes Article 8 and Article 30 paragraph 2 of the FFM Cup competition propositions for season 2026/2027, in relation to Article 63 paragraph 6, Article 68 and Article 99 paragraph 1 point II and paragraph 4 of the FFM Competition Regulations.
In its request, Vardar asks that the complaint be upheld, that the player’s appearance be declared improper, and that GFK Tikvesh 1930 AD Kavadarci be eliminated from further participation in the 2026/2027 Macedonian Cup.
The FFM statement confirms receipt of the complaint but does not include a decision; the federation’s procedural bodies will examine the documentation and the relevant regulations before issuing a ruling.
