In the Macedonian First Football League, Arsimi prepared to host Skopje in Gostivar following a victory against Shkendija. Striker Liric Kaba Jakupi expressed confidence in the team’s momentum heading into the fifth-round championship match.

In the subsequent sixth round, FC Vardar defeated Arsimi 2-0, marking a successful debut for new coach Miodrag ‘Grof’ Božović. Goals were scored by Goran Zakarić and Ediz Spahiu. 

The match was disrupted by protests from Vardar’s supporters, the ‘Komiti’, who demanded the resignation of club president Milenko Nedelkovski. The unrest caused a 15-minute interruption around the 60th minute, after which supporters boycotted the rest of the game, leaving the team to celebrate in an empty stadium. Vardar moved to fourth place in the league with 10 points.
