Fudbalski Klub Vardar is a football club based in the capital city of Skopje, in Macedonia. The club was founded in 1947 and they have been members of the Macedonian First Football League since its inception in 1992. The club play their games at the national stadium Philip II Arena which is one of the most modern stadiums in the Southeast of Europe. The stadium has a capacity of 33,460 and hosted the UEFA Super Cup final between Manchester United and Real Madrid in August 2017.
Vardar is the most successful club from Macedonia with 10 domestic league titles and 5 domestic cup titles. The club have also won both the Yugoslavian league and cup once. Vardar became the first Macedonian team ever to qualify for the group stage of a European competition after knocking out Fenerbahce in the playoffs to the UEFA Europa League 2017/2018.

The club is owned by a Russian millionaire and businessman called Sergey Samsonenko. He took over the men’s and women’s handball clubs of Vardar and made both of them very successful. The handball clubs had their biggest success last season when the men’s team won the Champions League and the women’s team lost the final on overtime.
FK Vardar finished 5th in the domestic league 2013/2014, missing out on all the four European spots. Samsonenko took over the football club of Vardar in 2014 after many speculations and wishes from the fans. Since then, Vardar have won three straight league titles.
I have not set any concrete goals for this save like winning the Champions League or using just Macedonian players. The only goal I have is to win the domestic league every season. I want to make the club the first in Macedonia to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League and the Champions League since it has not happened at the start of this save.
I apologize if my English is not perfect, but it is not my native language. If you have any questions regarding Macedonia or Macedonian football feel free to ask.
Hopefully you will enjoy this save together with me.

“A big man for a European club. Welcome to F.K. Vardar” was the message from the fans to Samsonenko before the takeover of the football club.
