Barbarez: I think this is a draw we can live with

(Patrai) - The coach of the Bosnia and Herzegovina "A" national team, Sergej Barbarez, commented on today's draw for the 2026 World Cup playoffs, which was held at FIFA headquarters in Zurich.

"I think this is a draw we can live with. Wales is a quality and serious team, especially on their home turf, but we also have our strengths and faith in what we do. It will be a demanding match, but I am completely convinced that we will prepare well and give our maximum. My only wish was to potentially play the final at home. That will be a great motivation for all of us. First, we have to do a big job in Wales, and if we succeed, we will look for a ticket to the World Cup at our stadium," said Barbarez.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team will play away against Wales in the World Cup playoff semi-finals.

The winner of this match will play in the final at home against the better of the match between Italy and Northern Ireland.
