In the "House of Football", the leadership of the Football Federation of Macedonia, Vice-President Lazar Rakidziev, General Secretary Filip Popovski and his deputy Drilon Ganiu, held a meeting with representatives of all clubs from the First Women's Football League.

The working meeting with the representatives of the clubs was opened by the vice-president of the FFM, Lazar Rakidziev, and the General Secretary, Filip Popovski, presented to the clubs the procedure related to the Licensing Regulations and the corresponding sports, infrastructure, administrative, legal and financial criteria that the clubs should fulfill them in order to be able to use the funds from the UEFA solidarity scheme.

The General Secretary of the FFM also presented to the representatives of the clubs the process of licensing in the Football Federation of Macedonia and the bodies of the FFM that participate in the licensing, as well as the most important criteria from the new Regulations for club licensing.

Clubs have to meet one or more of the listed criteria in order to use the funds from the UEFA solidarity scheme in the amount of 10,000 Euros obtained from the television rights of the Women's Champions League.

"We have an obvious need to create a more serious base of women's football and that is why we have strengthened the operational part of our work with a club obligation to fulfill at least one of the important criteria that we indicate. The results of the previous years show a slight progress, but we must continue the development and these changes in the licensing process are a step in that direction."

"The development of women's football should not rely on short-term profit, but on a long-term vision. Thanks to the solidarity funds that are the basis of this type of project, but also to the increased prize fund, every euro generated by the Women's Champions League will return even more to women's football. Our goal is for the clubs to understand this in the right way and of course, together with the federation, work to improve the conditions in women's football", said Filip Popovski.
