Vuko Karov memorial returns to Kavadarci this weekend
On Saturday at Kavadarci City Stadium three teams will meet in 45‑minute matches as the traditional memorial returns.
The traditional Vuko Karov memorial tournament will be played this weekend in Kavadarci, organisers confirmed on 12.11.2026.
Matches are scheduled for Saturday at the Kavadarci City Stadium and will follow the usual format: three sides will face each other in mini-matches of 45 minutes each. The participating teams are GFK Tikvesh 1930’s home players, a Tikvesh foreigners side, and Teteks.
Format and participants
The programme keeps the compact, one-day structure used in past editions: each team will meet the other two once, with all fixtures lasting 45 minutes. Kick-off times were not published with the announcement.
GFK Tikvesh 1930 issued a statement about the event, saying: "with special honour and respect it announces the holding of the traditional memorial tournament dedicated to Vuko Karov and the Tikvesh football legends."
The tournament is a local highlight on Tikvesh’s football calendar and is staged as a memorial to Vuko Karov and several club icons. Organisers invited supporters to attend the matches at the stadium and celebrate the club’s heritage.
Fans and visitors can expect a short, competitive day of football focused on commemorating the town’s sporting traditions.
