North Macedonia women placed in Nations League C with Faroe Islands, Israel and Andorra

Draw outcome and immediate reaction

Following the official draw, coach Aleksandar Andov commented on the group and the team's objectives. "I am optimistic and I believe in the potential of this generation. Success will be to earn more points than in the last cycle," said coach Aleksandar Andov.

The three opponents present a mix of styles and travel demands. The Faroe Islands bring a compact, physical approach and long travel for away fixtures; Israel offers technical attacking players and matches in varied conditions; Andorra are traditionally compact defensively and will likely be a tight contest.

The Nations League grouping shapes qualification paths and seeding for future competitions, so results in this mini-league will be important for North Macedonia's development and international standing. The Football Federation and coaching staff will now prepare scouting and training plans tailored to each opponent.

Exact match dates and the full fixture list for Group C will be published by UEFA in the coming weeks; the national team management has said preparations will intensify once the schedule is confirmed.
