One of the most important matches in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, our national team will play against Belgium at the "Grbavica" stadium in Sarajevo on October 7, 2017, starting at 6:00 PM, reports the Patria agency.

Special organizational procedures and security measures have been defined for this match, with activities that clearly and unequivocally specify the plan for ticket sales and distribution.

There is huge interest from fans for this match, who would like to contribute to achieving the only goal with their presence, which is the victory of our "Dragons".

NS/FS BiH has so far received a large number of requests for ticket reservations for this match, and it is certain that the capacity of the "Grbavica" stadium will be insufficient to accommodate all interested fans.

Due to the limited stadium capacity, as well as the mandatory security procedures mandated by FIFA and UEFA, 10,300 tickets will be printed for sale, with prices as follows: 30 KM (NORTH stand), 30 KM (EAST stand), 20 KM (SOUTH stand)

In accordance with the limited capacity of the "Grbavica" stadium, and security assessments, according to the relevant standards of FIFA and UEFA, as well as the conclusions of the competent bodies of NS/FS BiH, ticket sales for the match in question will be carried out as follows:

Sale of 10,300 tickets through the branches of the authorized partner agency "Centrotours".

In order to prevent ticket manipulation, and taking into account previous experiences, the following principles have been defined which will be mandatory applied during ticket sales:

One person can buy a maximum of two (2) tickets, upon presentation of an identification document (ID card or passport) and recording of ticket serial numbers,

Ticket purchases for individuals without an identification document (ID card, passport) will not be allowed,
