The most trophy-winning football team in Macedonia, Vardar, which is playing in the Second League for the first time this season due to its catastrophic financial situation, is raising its voice against refereeing injustices in the autumn part of the season. Vardar claim that they are damaged in the direct competitors for the first place on the table in the Second League West, Sileks and Voska Sport.

Sileks is the leader of the table with 14 points more than Vardar, while Voska Sport has five points more than the "red and blacks". Vardar lost in direct clashes with Sileks and Voska Sport, but the "red-black" camp believes that the referees have a great influence in the defeats.

We are transmitting the announcement of FC Vardar to you in full.

"Football Club Vardar, as the most trophy and most renowned football team in Macedonia after 12 rounds played in this year's second league football championship (west) decided to address the public with a statement based on the events in past matches that directly harmed our club. What exactly is it about?

We have been silent for some time, but that silence has come to an end. We react as a club to the obvious refereeing mistakes, which continuously occur in the matches of FC Vardar which we must say that directly affected several final results and thus our point balance and current placement in the second league table.

FC Vardar reacts to the obviously calculating trial and arbitration of several matches, which we note in the statement below, and in which we are intentionally or unintentionally (hopefully) deprived of a few points. We believe that they are crucial for our position on the table for now.

Who and why is obviously going against FC Vardar, we will have to ask publicly and ask for an answer from the authorities. In whose interest is the degradation of the most trophy Macedonian football club that is repeated from game to game? We are aware that refereeing mistakes are part of football, but we can not accept their tendency. In FC Vardar as a team, the management, the players, the fans and all those concerned are currently wondering if these are really accidental and unintentional refereeing mistakes and if FC Vardar in the matches against Besa, Sileks, and finally Voska, the direct competitor for the table deserves to lose or play a draw? Even in the matches we won, we witnessed major mistakes in the arbitration (against Gostivar)

Vardar - Gostivar (9th round)

Voska - Vardar (12th round)

With this announcement we want to finally make it known that we are aware of what is happening at the moment, we seek protection from the authorities, and we emphasize that no one has the right to play with the fate of the most trophy club in Macedonia, especially now when it is in the position of " wounded lion ". We can not close our eyes and be dumb observers of the tendentious trial against our club. FC Vardar was, is, and will be the biggest football brand no matter in which league it plays and will always have the support of all who love and respect it. We want a fair and correct chance to fight for what is our primary goal, to return FC Vardar to where it belongs. At the top of Macedonian football. And we are convinced that we will succeed in that!
