Fabrice Ondoa's journey with his club, Rabotnicki, in the North Macedonian Cup came to an abrupt end in the quarterfinals after a 3-1 defeat against Shkendija Haracine, crushing their hopes in the competition [cite: ].
The match, played this afternoon, saw Ondoa start in goal, but the Cameroonian international goalkeeper was unable to prevent his team's defeat [cite: ]. Despite his presence, Rabotnicki conceded three goals against a more realistic and determined Shkendija Haracine team [cite: ].
This elimination in the Cup now forces Rabotnicki to focus fully on their league objectives. For Fabrice Ondoa, these first few games with his new club have been difficult. In four matches played in all competitions, he has already conceded 13 goals [cite: ]. This record highlights the need for the goalkeeper and his team to quickly find solutions to improve their defensive solidity.
Ondoa, 30, joined Rabotnicki in February 2026, signing a one-and-a-half year contract. After being without a club for some time following his departure from RFS in Latvia, this transfer to North Macedonia represents a new opportunity to revive his career.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, with experience gained in several European leagues, including Belgium, Croatia and France, aimed to bring his expertise to Rabotnicki. The club, which currently sits 11th in the standings, was counting on his experience to strengthen their squad.
Despite this early elimination in the Cup, Ondoa will have the opportunity to prove his worth and help Rabotnicki achieve their league goals. His performances will be closely watched, especially given his past success winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon in 2017.
Rabotnicki's next match is scheduled for February 24, 2026, against KF Shkendija Haracine in the North Macedonia Cup.
