Football in the Republic of Macedonia

Football is the most popular sport in the Republic of Macedonia. The country became a member of FIFA in 1994. The national team has made a few remarkable results in qualifiers for the European Championship as well as the World Cup. The most sensational result was probably the 2-2 draw away against England (October 2002). 2 years later the Netherlands were held to a 2-2 draw at home (October 2004). The away-game the following year in Amsterdam also ended with a draw (0-0). On October 7, 2006, once again England was held to a draw in Manchester. And on November 17, 2007, Macedonia beat the group winners, Croatia, 2-0.
