    Default Greece Objects to North Macedonia Kit in UEFA Euro 2020

    Greece sent a letter of complaint to President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Aleksander Ceferin over the name being used by the North Macedonia team.

    Greek Sports Minister Lefteris Avgenakis signed the letter of Greece’s objection to the FFM (Football Federation of Macedonia) badge on the team’s jersey that excludes the word “North” from the Balkan country’s name.

    The prime minister of North Macedonia has indicated that it was a “mistake” on his part to recently refer to his country’s national football team, which is participating in the European Championship 2020, as “Macedonia,” omitting the qualifier “North.”

    “Sometimes, it’s normal to make mistakes, precisely in the Prespa Agreement. But I’m 46 years old. It’s normal in 47 years to mention it in one sentence and to repeat it sometimes,” Zoran Zaev told a press conference Skopje, speaking in English.

    Some weeks ago, Zoran Zaev went to Greece to seek help from them regarding the crisis with Bulgaria. Hilarious.

    The tweet caused a storm in Athens, with the government reportedly postponing a cooperation memorandum with North Macedonia in protest.

    Zaev said the tweet was not a reason to hold up the Prespa Agreement and associated memorandums in the Greek parliament.

    “We waited two years for these agreements. And we can wait three more months more,” he said, adding that the citizens in both countries wanted the memorandums to proceed.
