Participant Preview (Season Summary)
Bosnia and Herzegovina head into the World Cup after a 0-0 draw with North Macedonia in their last warm-up match. The squad, however, is hampered by Ivan Šunjić's muscle injury, which has kept him out of national-team training and threatens to limit midfield options as the tournament begins. Having completed a farewell training session at Grbavica and already flown to the United States, the team will be looking to field a balanced side and take a vital opening point in the group stage.
