These dates could still be subject to change as Shkupi are one of three Macedonian teams in the Europa League draw to hail from Skopje, the country’s capital.
Shkupi finished fourth in the First Football League last season. It was their highest finish since gaining promotion to the top flight in 2015.
Their Cair Stadium, named after a municipality in the city, holds 6,000 with just 2,800 seats.
