The Football Federation of Bosnia/Herzegovina has canceled the friendly match between the national team of the country and Russia. The announcement of a friendly meeting, which was scheduled for November 19, caused a storm of responses.
Russian teams – both at national and club level – remain banned by FIFA and UEFA following the invasion of Ukraine. Bosnia’s decision to host a friendly match in St. Petersburg 24 hours before the start of the World Cup made a splash.
Among those he opposed were Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic, as well as Sarajevo Mayor Benjamina Karić.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has postponed the friendly match against Russia.
The match was to be Russia’s first match against a European nation since they were banned from all FIFA and UEFA competition following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. https://t.co/QfRTtqvJ4r
