Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Road to the 2026 World Cup
Returning to the World Cup stage after their debut in Brazil 2014, the Bosnian team combines veteran experience led by captain Edin Džeko with an ambitious new generation. Their qualification was marked by a dramatic playoff run, defeating Wales and then upsetting favorites Italy in Zenica.
Under coach Sergej Barbarez, appointed in early 2024, Bosnia has adopted a strategy focusing on defensive solidity and quick counterattacks. Players like Ermedin Demirović, Esmir Bajraktarević, and Tarik Muharemović provide energy and athleticism essential for this approach. Yet, this system faces a tough test against Group B’s top-tier opponents, requiring disciplined execution to avoid being overly defensive.
