Shkëndija suspension lifted — next PMFL match to be played with fans
Suspension from last season's Cup final has ended; the fourth-round PMFL match vs Struga Trim Lum will be at Petar Miloshevski complex, 19:00.
Shkëndija of Tetovo announced on 18.08.2026 that their suspension stemming from incidents at last season's Macedonian Cup final has expired, and the club will play its next league match in front of spectators.
The fourth round fixture in the Macedonian First Football League (PMFL) will see Shkëndija host Struga Trim Lum at the Petar Miloshevski complex in Skopje, kick-off scheduled for 19:00.
Home arrangements and reasons
In a club statement, Shkëndija said the decision to stage the match at the Petar Miloshevski complex was driven by the facility's quality and its capacity to host evening kick-offs. For this reason, the team will remain in Skopje for the upcoming round.
Earlier this season Shkëndija registered the Gostivar stadium as their official home venue because of ongoing construction work at their native ground in Tetovo.
The return of fans marks a change from the sanctions imposed after the Cup final incidents, and supporters will be able to attend the match when Shkëndija meet Struga Trim Lum in the evening slot.
