Bosnia and Herzegovina World Cup 2026 odds paint this team as a 77-percent shot to reach the Round of 32 — a number backed by the expanded format and a dramatic playoff run that knocked out both Wales and Italy on penalties. Group B pits them against co-host Canada, Switzerland and Qatar across three US venues. Below you’ll find the full fixture schedule, squad breakdown and betting analysis, with live odds in the widget above.
Bosnia and Herzegovina at World Cup 2026 — Group B & Route
Bosnia landed in Group B alongside co-host Canada, Switzerland and Qatar. The 48-team format means the top two advance automatically, and the best third-placed teams also go through, so even a single win against Qatar on 24 June puts qualification squarely in reach. The route to the round of 16 runs through Houston if they finish second; group winners face a softer bracket path.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Squad & Key Players
Coach Sergej Barbarez has a squad that mixes veteran know-how with a new generation of diaspora talent. Six goals from Edin Dzeko in qualification, a decisive penalty from 21-year-old Esmir Bajraktarevic against Italy, and solid club form from the Stuttgart and Benfica contingent give Bosnia real attacking depth. No critical injuries were reported in the final squad named in late May 2026 — check fifa.com for latest updates before each match.
- Edin Dzeko (Schalke 04, 40) – captain; scored 6 goals in 2026 qualifying including the decisive goal in the playoff against Wales; still the focal point up front despite his age
- Ermedin Demirovic (VfB Stuttgart, 27) – first-choice striker alongside Dzeko; consistent Bundesliga form throughout the 2025-26 season makes him the team’s most reliable goal threat
- Esmir Bajraktarevic (PSV Eindhoven, 21) – scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out against Italy in the playoff final; the breakout player of qualifying and a dangerous wide option
- Amar Dedic (SL Benfica) – right-sided defender who adds attacking energy from deep; part of the diaspora generation that has reinvigorated the squad
- Sead Kolasinac (Atalanta BC) – experienced left-back with Serie A pedigree; was on the squad in 2014 and brings tournament experience no other defender in this squad can match
- Nikola Vasilj (FC St. Pauli) – first-choice goalkeeper; solid shot-stopper who kept Bosnia alive in the tight playoff games against Italy
