Bosnia and Herzegovina handball team begins Euro 2028 qualifiers

The Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national handball team has commenced preparations for the 2028 European Championship qualifiers. Led by coach Damir Doborac, the squad is set to face Slovenia away on November 4, followed by a home match against the Czech Republic in Tuzla on November 8.

The team faces significant roster challenges due to injuries, particularly at the right back position. Of the five players originally planned, only Faris Čolaković is available, though his participation in the Slovenia match remains uncertain. Despite these setbacks, Doborac expressed confidence in the motivation and youth of the squad.

National team director Elmir Grabčanović noted that despite difficulties within the Handball Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the gathering of players marks a significant step forward. The team has begun training in Sarajevo to prepare for the upcoming matches in Group 5, which also includes Israel.
