North Macedonia plays Finland on 10 November 2026 (17:30) in the first Group 4 match for 2028 World Cup qualification.
North Macedonia's futsal team travels to Finland to open its 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualifying campaign on 10 November 2026 at 17:30 local time.
The team competes in Group 4 together with Finland and Spain. The group winner will qualify directly for the 2028 World Cup, while the runner-up can still advance if it ranks among the four best second-placed teams across the qualifying groups.
Coach Gazmend Hiseini named a squad that will play four qualifying matches in this round — two at home and two away — and the visit to Finland is North Macedonia's first fixture.
Previous result and upcoming schedule
So far in the group Spain and Finland have already met, with Spain winning 3:1. North Macedonia's next match in this phase is scheduled at home against Spain on 8 December 2026.
The players prepared for several days ahead of the Finland game; midfielder Darko Churlinov said, "We believe in positive results." The squad and coaching staff have expressed hope for a strong start away from home.
Kick-off in Finland is set for 17:30 on 10 November 2026; fans will watch closely as North Macedonia seeks to begin the qualifiers on a winning note.
