Macedonian internationals feature across Europa League and Conference League fixtures
Red Star visit Lugano, a Panathinaikos–Borac clash billed as a "Macedonian derby", and Eljif Elmas leads Atalanta against Pafos.
International fixtures in the UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League on October 15, 2026 feature several North Macedonian internationals in action across Europe.
In the Europa Conference League, Matej Gashtarov travels with Red Star Belgrade to face Lugano, the Swiss side that includes Ezgjan Alioski; the match is scheduled for 18:45.
There is what the programme bills as a "Macedonian derby" in Athens, where Panathinaikos host Borac Banja Luka at 18:45. Elmin Rastoder will face his national teammates Sebastian Herrera and Damjan Shishkovski as the home team’s hosts.
Eljif Elmas and Atalanta are due to play Pafos at 21:00 in Bergamo; Atalanta start as strong favourites and a comfortable win is expected for the Italian side.
Nikola Serafimov is listed in Levski Sofia’s squad for their Europa League trip to NEC Nijmegen (21:00). The Macedonian centre-back has recovered from a wrist injury, but it remains unclear whether he will return to the starting lineup he held before the setback.
Visar Musliu is one of Sint-Truiden’s key players as the Belgian club host Iberia at 21:00. Supporters will be watching closely for contributions from the North Macedonian internationals across these fixtures.
