1. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE NORTH MACEDONIA SQUAD IN EURO 2020?

North Macedonia squad could not traditionally pass the Euro qualifying tournament but they took full advantage of UEFA's generosity to qualify for their first-ever tournament as an independent country. The decision to let the very weak national team advance via League D's playoffs in the UEFA Nations League was controversial, but the Macedonians were glad about their chance. 

Team players understand how fortunate they are to have qualified for Euro 2020. However, this isn't to imply that North Macedonia is a hopeless case that has been given a useless shot at destiny. They defeated Germany in a World Cup qualification only three months ago, and they have seen off Israel and Slovenia in the past two years, narrowly losing to Austria.

North Macedonia are considered the weakest team at Euro 2020, yet they have nothing to lose. Above all, they possess the spirit and ability to make the opponents lose their temper. This season, North Macedonia will face the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Austria in Group C. Regardless of what happens, being here is a success. Everything else will be a wonderful gift.
