Only Gjoko Zajkov, the new stopper of French Rennais hasn't confirmed the participation in the squad. All the other players that received invitations are going to join the team for the preparations before the two friendlies.

The coaching staff of the national team is going to have the first training session with the selection of mainly domestic league players today at 17.30 h. at the House of Football training center. According to the program, the team will have training sessions twice a day in the following four days, starting at 10.30 and 17.30 h.

The first match against China will take place on 18 June, 2014 in Shenyang, and on 22 June, 2014 in Jinan the second game will take place.

The national coach Gjurovski stated that the aim of these two games is to create a realistic picture of the potential of the domestic league players.

- We would like to have a realistic picture of the quality of the players from the domestic championship, and the games against China will confirm if they have the required quality to truly impose themselves in the national team. The result is not the highest priority, our main focus is to find players that we can count on in the future, the ones that can carry the load in the upcoming qualifications matches. This is probably the last chance for these players to secure a place in the national team, and in the months to come, we are going to work on the "fine topping" since the team for the EURO qualifiers will be defined - stated Gjurovski after the announcement of the players that will travel to China.
