Today in Sarajevo, the football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina begins gathering before the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Selector Sergej Barbarez expects the arrival of most of the national team members today and tomorrow, while some players will arrive later due to obligations in their clubs and the end of the national championships.
Nikola Vasilj, Esmir Bajraktarević, Nikola Katić, Dženis Burnić, Ivan Bašić and Osman Hadžikić are among the first national team members who arrived in the capital of BiH today.
As a reminder, the national team members of Bosnia and Herzegovina will gather during the day on Ilidža, in Sarajevo’s “Malak” hotel, where they will begin preparations for performances at the upcoming World Championship.
Selector Sergej Barbarez, as he pointed out, “expects the arrival of most of the national team players”, while the players who have club commitments during the weekend will join the national team later.
Our national team will play two test matches in preparation for the World Cup. The first control match is on May 29 at the sold-out Olympic Stadium “Asim Ferhatović Hase – Koševo” against North Macedonia, while Barbarez’s team will have a dress rehearsal on June 6 in St. Louis, an American city where a large number of our emigrants live, so that meeting will feel like being on home turf.
The representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo will prepare until June 2 when they travel to America, that is, St. Louis. The day after the match with Panama, the popularly called “Dragons” will go to Toronto, where on June 12, they will play against the host Canada in the first round of the “B” World Championship, which will begin the day before.
From June 13, our national team is moving to a “permanent” base, in Salt Lake City, where they will have a training camp until the end of their participation in the World Cup.
They will be looking for a chance to join the 32 best selections in the world in matches with Switzerland in Los Angeles on June 18 and Qatar six days later in Seattle.
