Bosnia and Herzegovina football teams see ranking rise and mixed results
The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team has seen significant progress in the Nations League, securing two wins and two draws. This performance has led to an improvement in their FIFA ranking, rising from 61st to 57th. Under coach Sergej Barbarez, the team is now targeting a higher position in the group to secure a better seeding for the EURO 2028 qualifiers.
In the women's sector, the Bosnia and Herzegovina U-19 team suffered a 1-2 defeat against Switzerland in their opening Nations League qualifying match.
Meanwhile, in Croatia, coach Slaven Bilić has addressed the team's recent challenges following a difficult start in the Nations League. Bilić emphasized that the team must understand its current standing and avoid undue pressure after facing top-tier opponents like England and Spain. Former coach Zlatko Dalić, currently managing the UAE, also commented on the situation, suggesting that the Croatian squad should focus on their long-term goals rather than immediate setbacks.
