Mladost Bogdanci presents plaque to RK Vardar after Super League game
Mladost Bogdanci presented RK Vardar a plaque before the 19 September 2026 Super League game to honour the club's contribution to Macedonian handball.
RK Vardar visited Bogdanci on 19 September 2026 for a Super League fixture and defeated hosts Mladost Bogdanci 44:34, but an off-court moment from the day drew special attention.
Before the match kicked off, Mladost Bogdanci presented RK Vardar with a commemorative plaque in recognition of the club's contribution to the development and promotion of Macedonian handball.
Gesture and message
The plaque was given as a formal thank-you for the “the 'red-and-blacks'” long-standing role in national handball, acknowledging Vardar's successes and the visibility the club brings to the sport across the country.
The act was widely read as a sign of respect and fair play from the hosts: a local club publicly honouring a leading national team for its sporting achievements and promotional work.
On the court, Vardar produced a high-scoring performance to secure the 44:34 win. Off the court, the plaque presentation became the defining image of the visit to Bogdanci.
Such gestures are rare in league play and were applauded by spectators and officials present as a positive example of sportsmanship and national solidarity in Macedonian handball.
