Macedonian Football Cup


The Cup of Macedonia is the top knockout tournament and the second most important football competition in North Macedonia after the Macedonian First League championship.

What the Cup of Macedonia represents

The big cup for the Cup of Macedonia was made by the academic sculptor Naso Bekjarovski. It is 51 centimeters tall and weighs 10.5 kilograms and reflects all the important historical, cultural, geographical and natural values and treasures of Macedonia.
The soccer ball represents a poppy, and the top flower of the poppy is made of four petals that symbolize the four parts of Macedonia. Under the ball are the flames that symbolize the centuries-old struggle of the Macedonian people. The pillar is wrapped with vines and grapes that symbolize the gourd, the base is with fragments of the history and cultural heritage of Macedonia, the Stone Bridge and the pattern of the Macedonian carpet.
