I am aware of (although probably not very well acquainted with) the controversies surrounding the naming of the country that this team represents. However, the undeniable fact, unplatable as it might be to many, is that FIFA refer to this national side as Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Should Wikipedia not do likewise?

The Centralized discussion set up to decide on a comprehensive naming convention about Macedonia-related naming practices is now inviting comments on a number of competing proposals from the community. Please register your opinions on the RfC subpages 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. (Pages 2 and 4 deal with the conventions most directly affecting this article.)

Look at this. This is the team's profile at the official website of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, better known as FIFA, the federation that governs world football. Now look at this. This is the team's profile at the official website of the Union of European Football Associations, or UEFA, which is FIFA's analogue for Europe. The country this team represents is a member of both FIFA and UEFA. And as one can see opening those links, both FIFA and UEFA refer to this team as nothing else than FYR Macedonia, FYR of Macedonia or former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. And if one searches the above websites for the word "Macedonia" ( fifa.com, uefa.com), one will see that in all search results this word is preceded by "FYR", without even a single exeption. So one can easily conclude that according to FIFA and UEFA, a team called "Macedonia national football team" does not exist. There exists a team called "FYR Macedonia national football team". For that reason, the title of this article should read FYR Macedonia national football team. So I request that it be moved. And finally, I consider I should say that I am not a Greek, not even a Cypriot. -- 88.203.248.161 ( talk) 21:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Seconded. Wikipedia is there to be accurate and this is inaccurate, as it is not the official name. This is Mkbw50 signing out! 20:53, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi everyone, i added macedonia's all-time record, similar to the one of the England national football team. I hope you like it :) i'm sure everything is right now, but if you like see if i made everything correct (goals etc.). number of games are definitely correct since they're on the Football Federation's web site. Habel ( talk) 16:15, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
The site [ http://www.eloratings.net/] states 154 international matches for Macedonia. Our table gives 156 matches. Which is correct? Miho ( talk) 18:46, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
This section can´t continue to be managed the way it has been until here. It should have a clear inclusion criterium (exemple: listing ALL players who played this year), because the way it has been managed until is a POV cause particular editors choose which players they consider "notable" and which don´t, all without any valid criterium. The word notable is not encyclopedic in a sense that it doesn´t specify what it means: notable to who? why? etc. That is why I removed it from the section title. I propose we replace this section whith some inclusion criterium such as listing all players recently called, and by recently we also have to have a clear time period, exemple, since beggining of year.

With the Prespa Agreement to change the country's name to North Macedonia being ratified today, surely the sports teams should be moved to North Macedonia national football team etc.? VampireKilla ( talk) 16:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
Probably should be done only once the team starts using that name in competition. For example, West Germany and Yugoslavia football teams continued for a while even after the countries had dissolved - N Macedonia might wait until Euro 2020 to make the switch Sheila1988 ( talk) 20:14, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
