"We have an obvious need to create a more serious base of women's football and that is why we have strengthened the operational part of our work with a club obligation to fulfill at least one of the important criteria that we indicate. The results of the previous years show a slight progress, but we must continue the development and these changes in the licensing process are a step in that direction."


"The development of women's football should not rely on short-term profit, but on a long-term vision. Thanks to the solidarity funds that are the basis of this type of project, but also to the increased prize fund, every euro generated by the Women's Champions League will return even more to women's football. Our goal is for the clubs to understand this in the right way and of course, together with the federation, work to improve the conditions in women's football", said Filip Popovski.
