Latest Liechtenstein vs North Macedonia team information
Liechtenstein head coach Konrad Funfstuck has called up 23 players for the opening two home matches of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Several familiar names were absent through injury or were ruled out following the 3-1 defeat to San Marino in November, including goalkeeper Justin Ospelt, defender Noah Frommelt and midfielders Marcel Buchel, Livio Meier and Liam Kranz.
There are five players in the squad who could make their debut, notably Italian-born striker Willy Pizzi, who holds Liechtenstein nationality and has represented the country at youth level. Dennis Salanovic and striker Ferhat Saglam, who play in Switzerland, are also competing for a starting spot in the attack.
On the opposite side, North Macedonia coach Blagoja Milevski announced a list of 27 players, including two names currently playing in the domestic league. The only new player is Luka Stankovski - a versatile midfielder under Radnicki (Serbia), who has scored 3 goals in 19 matches this season.
North Macedonia’s three key stars include captain Enis Bardhi, midfielder Eljif Elmas (Torino) and striker Bojan Miovski (Girona). In goal, Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski is in great form, with a streak of 5 consecutive clean sheets – a new team record.
Two unfortunate names absent due to injury are Milan Ristovski and Darko Velkovski.

Latest football commentary Liechtenstein vs North Macedonia
Liechtenstein started their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in a rather uninspiring manner. After two consecutive defeats to San Marino – a team ranked even lower than them in the FIFA rankings – Liechtenstein finished bottom of their three-team Nations League group last year, putting together a disappointing performance.
Under the leadership of German coach Konrad Funfstuck since June 2023, the team has won only one of 18 matches. However, the Liechtenstein Football Association still decided to extend his contract for another three years, perhaps to maintain stability during difficult times.
Liechtenstein start 2025 with two home games against North Macedonia and Kazakhstan. However, with a squad worth less than €1 million, they can hardly expect a positive result when they face North Macedonia – a squad worth around €40 million and in very good form.
In the past, North Macedonia won all 6 times against Liechtenstein, conceding only once and scoring a total of 17 goals. In the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, they won 9-0 on aggregate over two matches.
Additionally, while Liechtenstein finished bottom of the entire Nations League system, North Macedonia excelled in topping their group ahead of Armenia, Faroe Islands and Latvia, winning five of their six games and not conceding a goal since matchday two.
Coach Blagoja Milevski is aiming to take North Macedonia to their first World Cup. After failing in the 2022 World Cup playoffs and an unsuccessful Euro 2020, they have high hopes for this campaign.
Milevski and his players will look to make an early impact, starting with an away game in Vaduz before hosting Wales in Skopje – two crucial matches that kick off their journey to North America next summer.
