The World Macedonian Congress – Australia (WMC-A) stands with Preston Lions FC and our community following the latest sanctions, which are excessive and inconsistent.

A three-point deduction, $18,150 in fines, restrictions on away supporters, and the threat of a further six-point penalty until 2028 is unreasonable and affects everyone involved - players, staff, volunteers, families, and every supporter of the club.

WMC-A is concerned the principles of fairness and equality are not being adhered to. If Football Victoria applies this level of punishment to Preston, then the same standards must apply across all clubs. But this clearly not the case.

Support the club with passion, but stay composed. If you see behaviour that crosses the line, speak up.

If you love the club show it by respecting the club and contributing in a positive manner. Together we can all ensure that the future of Preston Makedonia remains bright.

🥊FIGHTING COMBAT SPORTS-

Terzievski Takes Training to Thailand

Australian/Macedonian boxer Kris Terzievski has taken his preparation to Thailand, trading the familiar surrounds of Melbourne for the heat, humidity and relentless pace of one of boxing’s great training destinations.

Terzievski, an Australian and Australasian heavyweight champion, recently shared images from Thailand as he continues to sharpen his skills alongside one of his best mates. The Craigieburn fighter has built a reputation on hard work and technical boxing, and the Thailand camp provides another opportunity to push his conditioning and ring craft to a higher level.

The move overseas comes as Terzievski continues to pursue opportunities at the top end of the sport. His career highlight came in 2022 when he defeated Paul Gallen by unanimous decision, becoming the first fighter in 100 years to simultaneously hold the Australian and Australasian heavyweight titles.

When completing your Census, please answer truthfully, and where applicable to you, remember to identify your:

🔹 Country of birth: Macedonia
🔹 Ancestry: Macedonian
🔹 Religion: Macedonian Orthodox
🔹 Language spoken at home: Macedonian

Accurate Census data helps ensure our community's size and needs are properly understood , supporting community services and leaving a clearer record of Macedonian heritage and contribution in Australia for future generations.

DOCKERTY CUP 2026
🏆⚽️Preston Makedonia Roar Back to Dockerty Cup Glory

Preston Makedonia have ended a 34-year wait for Dockerty Cup glory, defeating Heidelberg United 3–1 in a thrilling final at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday, 8 August.

Heidelberg struck first through Nick Duarte, but Makedonia responded in style, with Zach Cianci equalising before Stefan Zinni put Preston ahead. As Heidelberg pushed for an equaliser, Preston Makedonia held firm before Luca Tevere sealed the victory in stoppage time, sparking jubilant celebrations among the players and its loyal supporters. Tevere was rewarded with the Jimmy Mackay Medal as the final’s best player.

The triumph marks Preston Makedonia first Dockerty Cup since 1992 and ends a long wait for one of Victorian football’s proudest clubs. For the Makedonia faithful it was a night to remember.

WMC-A proudly congratulates Preston Makedonia Soccer Club on their Dockerty Cup victory over arch-rivals Heidelberg United.
