Group Stage (2014)
Bosnia and Herzegovina are back at the World Cup after a playoff run shaped by Edin Dzeko's leadership and another capacity for surviving high-pressure nights.

Bosnia and Herzegovina return to the World Cup for only the second time in their history, and FIFA's latest qualification coverage made one point unavoidable: Edin Dzeko was central to it. Bosnia came through the UEFA play-offs and even eliminated Italy on penalties, giving the campaign a very different weight from the generic version often attached to late qualifiers.
Forward
Fiorentina
FIFA's Bosnia qualification feature centred Dzeko, who turned 40 in March 2026 and still drove the team through the play-offs.
Defender
Atalanta
Kolasinac gives Bosnia leadership and edge on the left side of the defence, especially when matches become physical.
Forward
VfB Stuttgart
Demirovic gives Bosnia a more mobile attacking option and helps keep the front line from depending entirely on Dzeko's profile.
Midfielder
Red Star Belgrade
Krunic remains important for balance and gives Bosnia one of their calmer ball-playing midfielders.
Goalkeeper
St. Pauli
Vasilj's emergence matters because Bosnia need reliability behind a defence that often has to absorb long spells without the ball.
