Bosnia and Herzegovina's homeless football team defeated Norway

The BiH homeless football team defeated Norway 11:2 in their first match at the World Cup.

- Our guys played great. The result speaks for itself. The guys were a bit nervous before the match because the first one is the hardest, now it's much easier. We also had support from the stands, where there were a few of our fans from BiH, but others supported us too, primarily Bulgarians and Slovenians - said Elmedin Škrebo, team leader and project manager of MFS – EMMAUS, under whose organization our national team is participating in the World Cup again.
