Dean Stojanov names 19-player preliminary squad for U20 Euro qualifiers
North Macedonia will host Group E in Skopje from 21–23 January 2027; final roster will be 14 players.
Dean Stojanov, the head coach of North Macedonia's women's U20 volleyball side, has released a preliminary squad of 19 players who will be considered for the January qualifiers for the 2027 European Championship.
The selection will contest the second-round Group E tournament, which North Macedonia will host in Skopje. The wider list includes players from seven domestic clubs and will be trimmed to a final 14-player roster before the competition.
Schedule and opponents
The Group E tournament will take place from 21 to 23 January 2027 at the Jane Sandanski Sports Centre in Skopje. North Macedonia will face Belarus, Hungary and Norway in the three-team round-robin held on home soil.
Most of the 19 players named by Stojanov already took part in the first phase — the zonal qualifiers — and will now compete for places in the final squad that will travel for the second round.
Alongside the event in Skopje, four other second-round tournaments will be played across Europe in the same period. The five group winners and the two best second-placed teams will qualify for the EuroVolley 2027 U20 final tournament.
