Macedonian Cup 1/8-finals: Vardar drawn against Tikvesh
Draw on October 15, 2026 sets single-leg ties for Oct 27–28, including Vardar–Tikvesh and Pelister–Sileks.
The draw for the 1/8 finals of the Macedonian Cup was held on October 15, 2026, setting up several compelling single-leg ties to be played later in the month.
Perhaps the most anticipated fixture is Vardar vs Tikvesh — teams who between them lifted the Cup in 2024 and 2025. Tikvesh arrive with clear ambitions despite having played away in earlier rounds.
Struga TL, which reached the Cup final twice in recent years, will host Belasica in Struga, while the current holder Sileks faces a difficult trip to Bitola to play Pelister.
