Head coach Vlatko Andonovski praised the team’s collective effort, emphasizing their ability to perform under pressure. “Our players have shown time and again that they are capable of handling the biggest moments, and today was no different. Winning this fourth title is a testament to their talent, work ethic, and commitment to excellence.”
