The European football season continues with significant activity involving Bosnian players and national teams. Following major club transfers involving Amar Dedić, Kerim Alajbegović, and Tarik Muharemović, focus remains on both youth and senior international campaigns.

Regarding the senior national team’s UEFA Nations League preparations, head coach Sergej Barbarez has announced squad updates following injuries to Amar Dedić and Kenan Busuladžić. To address these absences, Barbarez has issued call-ups to Benjamin Tahirović, Ajdin Hasić, Arjan Malić, and Luka Đurić. Kerim Alajbegović’s status remains uncertain due to hip discomfort, while Dedić is sidelined for three to four weeks with a hamstring injury. Busuladžić faces a nine-month absence following a torn cruciate ligament injury.

The team faces a demanding schedule of four matches in 11 days, including away fixtures against Poland and Romania, followed by home matches against Sweden and Poland. The upcoming period holds emotional significance as captain Edin Džeko is expected to play his final international match on October 2 against Sweden in Zenica.

Logistical preparations for the match against Romania at Bilino Polje in Zenica have been finalized. With demand reportedly outnumbering stadium capacity fourfold, the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has set ticket prices between 40 KM and 60 KM. To prevent unauthorized resale, the Federation emphasized that only tickets purchased through official channels are valid, and holders must present identification matching the name on the ticket.

Concurrently, the U-21 national team under coach Branislav Krunić continues preparations for European Championship qualifying matches against Norway and the Netherlands, with call-ups including Stefan Marčetić, Nedim Keranović, and Viktor Grbić.
