[3] After the collapse of Yugoslavia and the independence of the Republic of Macedonia in 1992, the Macedonian Volleyball Federation joined the FIVB and the CEV.

The first appearance of the women's national team of the Republic of Macedonia in the official international competitions took place only 6 years later during the qualifying tournament of the European Championship 1999 (category "B").

The next three games in their group, was the defeating against Turkey twice and one from Greece, and then they withdrew from the competition.

Later the Macedonian national team only occasionally participated in official international competitions under the auspices of FIVB and CEV.

The reason for this is that volleyball in this small European country lags behind the popularity of such game sports like football, handball and basketball.
