Mehmed Baždarević, coach of the BiH national football team, has announced the squad for the matches against Andorra and Austria on March 28 and 31, reports the correspondent of the BiH news agency Patria.

The squad includes: Asmir Begović, Ibrahim Šehić, Vedad Ibišević, Ratko Dujković, Mensur Mujdža, Emir Spahić, Izet Hajrović, Miralem Pjanić, Gojko Cimirot, Sejad Salihović, Rijad Bajić, Edin Džeko, Avdija Vršajević, Tino Sven Sušić, Haris Medunjanin, Anel Hadžić, Ervin Zukanović, Edin Cocalić, Milan Đurić, Edin Višća, Muhamed Bešić, Sanjin Prcić, Ognjen Vranješ, Senad Lulić, Ermin Bičakčić.

For the friendly match against Austria, Toni Šunjić and Semir Štilić will be called up. The team will gather on March 23 in Zenica.

It is evident that Baždarević has listened to public opinion in recent months, as many have long wondered why Šehić, Štilić, and Zukanović were not in the national team.

It is currently uncertain whether Spahić will come to Sarajevo, or to Zenica on March 23 when the gathering of the BiH national team is scheduled.

As coach Baždarević told us, he himself cannot say with certainty whether Spahić will come, but he hopes he will.

- At this moment, we have selected what we believe to be the best, and I hope we will manage to win the match against Andorra, which will be very difficult, even though some have already secured three points - said Baždarević.

Additionally, Darko Nestorović, coach of the U-21 team, has also announced a list of young players who will play matches against the USA and Turkey.

25 players have been called up: goalkeepers Kenan Pirić, Vedran Kjosevski, Nemanja Trkulja; defense: Jozo Špikić, Renato Gojković, Luka Miletić, Miloš Šatara, Kerim Memija, Adis Omerbašić, Alem Merajić, Dženan Bureković; midfield: Damir Sadiković, Andrej Modić, Samir Radovac, Branimir Odak, Fedor Predragović, Nikola Jelisić, Josip Ćorluka, Omar Marković, Haris Hajradinović, Semir Musić, Amar Rahmanović; attack: Rijad Bajić, Armin Hodžić, Ismail Prevljak.

The youth team will face the USA on March 27 in Tuzla, and will host Turkey in Kakanj on March 31.
