Wales Prepares for Crucial Match Against Bosnia and Herzegovina

Wales has yet to secure a victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina in any of their four prior meetings.

Craig Bellamy’s squad will host Bosnia in the semi-finals of the European play-offs for the World Cup qualifiers on March 26, 2026. The winner will face the victor of the other Path A semi-final, which features Italy and Northern Ireland, for a coveted spot in the 2026 World Cup.

The two nations first clashed in February 2003 during an international friendly, resulting in a 2-2 draw. This match remains notable as Wales scored both of their historic goals against Bosnia in this encounter.

Their second meeting took place in August 2012, also in the form of a friendly, where Bosnia emerged victorious with a 2-0 win at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli.

The teams met again in 2014 and 2015, with both fixtures occurring on October 10. In 2014, they played to a goalless draw at Cardiff City Stadium during the qualifiers for the 2016 European Championships. A year later, Bosnia claimed a 2-0 victory in Zenica, with goals from Milan Djuric and Vedad Ibisevic in the final 20 minutes.

Despite losing their most recent encounter with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Wales secured their place at Euro 2016 thanks to favorable results in other matches that evening.
