MZT Skopje Aerodrom start their 2022/23 mission

MZT Skopje Aerodrom squad have started their first practice ahead of the new season, where four of five foreign players, together with several domestic players and talented youngsters were present, but none of the four North Macedonia national team members.

Head coach Aleksandar Petrović can count on American players Evan Maxwell and Mike Caffey, Serbian player Strahinja Mićović and Turkish center Samet Yigitoglu. Here is also the captain Damjan Stojanovski, together with Adem Mekić, Andrej Andonoski and Dario Mitevski, who watched the first practice from the sideline due to injury. The coach is still waiting for the arrival of Brae Ivey, while Andrej Magdevski, Damjan Robev, Bojan Krstevski and Vojdan Stojanovski will join the rest of the squad after their appearances for the North Macedonia national team this summer.

“There is a season that poses a huge challenge ahead of us. We will return to the top division of regional basketball. We are slowly getting together. We have enough time to get to know each other and form our system and I believe that we will present ourselves in a good way when the AdmiralBet ABA League season begins. We have a great combination of the best players of Macedonian basketball and excellent foreign reinforcements. I believe that this will bring us many beautiful moments in the forthcoming season,” Petrović told.

MZT Skopje Aerodrom will start with the preseason games next month, and so far their scheduled games are against Rilski sportiest and Levski in Samokov, against PAOK in Thessaloniki, against Zdravlje Leskovac in Skopje, alongside the Zemun Cup tournament in Belgrade.
