The Football Federation of Macedonia is fully committed to promoting clean sport, doping-free football, for all athletes participating in their competition.

In that regard, FFM participates in UEFA anti-doping education for athletes participating in UEFA competitions, athlete support staff (doctors and coaches).

The aim is to ensure that every player who participates in FFM and UEFA competitions will receive an education.

Lecturer, Dr. Ilija Stoilov, member of the Committee for Medicine and Anti-Doping of the FFM, "We did the lectures with a power point presentation, practical examples, interactive discussion. At the end of the sessions, we gave the attendees an answer to the WADA quiz question. The answers were incredibly accurate which means we achieved our goals of providing attendees with the necessary information on the fight against doping in sport. We are continuing with this project because it has proven to be successful in the prevention of doping in football.

The learning objectives of the education were:

- To provide players with information, guidance and support to enable them to make informed decisions about doping.

- To understand what anti-doping rules are, the concept of strict liability and what it means for them

- To know that there is a prohibited list and how to check drugs and supplements, as well as apply for a TUE if necessary

- To understand the consequences of doping - health, sanctions, etc.

- Understand test procedures to increase compliance and eliminate test anxiety

- To understand the risk points in their career and how to deal with these difficult moments

- To understand where to go and from whom to ask for help
