    Profile

    Filip Madjunkov is a Macedonian volleyball player native of the Macedonian city of Strumica. 

    Filip started playing Volleyball when he was 15 years old, under the advice of one of his best friends. At the time, he trained with one of the best coaches for youth players: Kiril Richliev, who has been the coach of all the National Team's players from Strumica. 

    Madjunkov started considering a professional career when he was first called for the Macedonian national team at 17. After that, he played for a couple of seasons in the Macedonian Championship, and then he got his first international contract in Jedinstvo Bijelo polje in Montenegro. 

    Since that period, Madjunkov has played in France, Germany and Croatia, and he's currently playing in Austria for SK Zadruga Aich/Dob.

    “ It is a great honour to be named EuroVolley Ambassador; I am excited that Macedonia is hosting this upcoming EuroVolley, which will be one of the biggest sports events, perhaps the biggest in our country."
