Polikastro, Greece is the venue of the Balkan Youth tournament in Badminton which Macedonia had left due to blackmail by the host of the tournament.

Macedonia had entered the tournament with 6 players and two coaches. Prior to the beginning of the tournament the Greek hosts had asked the Macedonian team to remove their shirts or cover the term 'Macedonia'. As a solution the host offered shirts that said 'fyrom'.

The president of the Badminton Federation Dime Stefanovski ordered the team to leave the tournament while lodging complaint with the Balkan Badminton Federation.

"Puzant Kazabjan, the president of the Balkan Badminton federation saluted our decision to leave the tournament. Greece had been told by the Federation if Macedonia had nameless shirts, then the same would apply to every team at the Tournament. This was rejected by Greece" - says Stefanovski.

Macedonia is a member of the World Badminton federation under Fyr Macedonia, while in the European Federation as the "Macedonian Badminton Federation".

The constant problems with Macedonian national teams visiting Greece raises the question whether Macedonian athletes should go to Greece in the first place.


Sick and tired with these Neo NAZI's... This ain't the first time.. Europe are pathtic in not doing anything about these Fasict people..
And good on the team for leaving....

All our athletes should go to Greece. It is their problem, not ours.

The use of the term was purely "for all purposes within the United Nations"; it was not being mandated for any other party.[23]

as far as sport goes is'nt there somewhere macedonia can appeal to.Greece is just doing the same old things & it seems relentless in doing it.Macedonia must be smart about it & do something to stop greece.Is'nt it nice the host offered us fyrom shirts how convenient.Greece should be told to go fuck itself as we won't tolerate this form of bullshit.
