Shkëndija Arachinovo allows 'Balisti' to attend Čair derby
On Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 13:00 Shkëndija Arachinovo meet Shkëndija Tetovo in the ninth round of the PMFL; away fans were initially barred but permission was granted.
Shkëndija Arachinovo has approved the presence of away supporters for the Čair derby: on Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 13:00 the teams Shkëndija Arachinovo and Shkëndija Tetovo will meet in the ninth round of the First Macedonian Football League (PMFL), and fans of the visiting side will be allowed to attend.
Historic first‑league meeting between the two Shkëndijas
This fixture is the first-ever top‑flight meeting between the two clubs that share the Shkëndija name. Because of that novelty, the match has drawn particular attention from supporters and the league alike.
The hosts from Arachinovo reversed an earlier decision and granted access to the visiting ultras known as the "Balisti." Organisers initially did not permit away fans, but the stance was changed, and the "Balisti" have confirmed they will travel to Skopje for the game.
The Čair derby will be the main event of the PMFL matchweek following the lengthy international break.
Earlier delegation announcements named Kacheski as the referee appointed to oversee the derby at Čair. The match is expected to attract significant attention from supporters and media across the league.
