Preview: Vardar Hosts Voska Ohrid in North Macedonia Cup Clash

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (Interstat) — Domestic cup action resumes Wednesday as Vardar hosts Voska Ohrid in a Round of 16 matchup of the North Macedonia Football Cup.

The game is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, at Vardar’s home ground.

Vardar enters the contest in strong form, having won three consecutive matches across all competitions. Most recently, Vardar secured a 1-0 home victory over Bashkimi Kumanovo in league play on Saturday. That win followed dominant performances, including a 5-1 cup win against KF Arsimi and a 3-0 league victory at FK Rabotnichki Skopje earlier in February. Vardar’s attack has been potent, scoring three or more goals in four of its last ten outings.

Voska Ohrid, known formally as Voska Sport, arrives after a lengthy break from competitive play. Its most recent result was a 0-0 draw at Zajazi on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025. The club’s form before that pause was mixed, with a win, two draws, and a loss in its previous four matches. Its most impressive result this season was a 3-0 home victory over Shkupi on Sept. 24.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Vardar is projected to advance with a 2-0 victory.

The cup tie offers a distraction from league duties for both sides. Vardar’s schedule remains congested, with a First Football League match at Struga slated for Saturday, followed by a home league fixture against Shkendija on Wednesday, March 4.

Voska Ohrid will look to disrupt Vardar’s momentum and use its underdog status to its advantage, seeking a cup upset on the road.
