Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to verify the actual situation of the fans in the Shkëndija Football Club from Tetova. A total of 315 male and female fans of different ages were included in the research, where 287 respondents are male and 28 are female. The research was carried out by means of the Questionnaire, which included 58 questions. Based on the opinions of the respondents, we can freely say that the answers in general as well as the free opinions expressed by the fans of KF Shkëndija are very important and worth analyzing in detail. Based what we sow from the results and from the history of the club's establishment, the suspension of the club and its re-establishment, the establishment of the Balliste fan group, the announcement of the state champion for the first time, the arrival of FC Shkëndija before the threshold of extinction due to of not having sponsors, and in the end the sponsorship of the club by Ecolog and the recent historical achievements of FC Shkëndija, we can conclude and recommend as follows: - FC Shkëndija from Tetova is a serious club which in recent years is at the peak of historical achievements, therefore the organization of this club as well as its management should be done by professionals and not by groups of people who know how to form impenetrable clans. Therefore, the leadership of the club should be modified or built according to the needs of the club and not the needs of individuals. - FC Shkëndija in order to have the primacy of a serious club with a world character needs a football Academy in which both athletes and coaches will be educated, trained and selected, and why not train the club's fans as well. Such a thing can only be done under the management and leadership of the Ecolog. - FC Shkëndija needs to find ways to preserve the football talents that emerge from its own school, such a concern is often encountered by players, parents and football professionals who know best how to make that assessment. - Indeed, as the fans stated in most cases, the treatment and care of FC Shkëndija towards the fans is not up to par and it must be improved for the benefit of both parties, since fans have existed, exist and will exist, but the club also needs the fans, the more educated and prepared they are, the better they will reflect on the club.
