In addition to competing in the European EHF Cup as Macedonia’s representative, HC Alkaloid has started preparing for their third season in the Super League.

The team changed several players ahead of the new season, with four new handball players joining the roster.

Nikola Kosteski, an experienced Macedonian national team player, will bolster the position of the right wing. Kosteski, who is 31 years old, is making his way back to Macedonia after a seven-year international career. During this time, he played for the teams of Selka Eskisehir from Turkey, Tatran Presov from Slovakia, Linz and Hollabrunn from Austria and, most recently, Talent Plzen from the Czech Republic.

This year, our defense will be greatly strengthened with the arrival of Marko Kizic, a 23-year-old goalkeeper for the Macedonian national team. He is well-known for his unquestionable skills and solid experience.

Additionally, right back Mihail Ivanoski is joining the HC Alkaloid squad after making significant progress and putting up outstanding performances with HC Multi Essence in the previous season.

Francisco Oliveira da Silva, a 25-year-old Portuguese player who excels in both left and center positions, is the fourth reinforcement. He rounds up our full-back lineup. From 2011 until 2020, Da Silva was a member of the handball club Braga. He then relocated to Vitoria, where he played for the Spanish team Guadalajara in 2022, and the Hungarian team Eger in 2023, before joining HC Alkaloid.
