Bosnia and Herzegovina plan to play a more offensive game when they face Qatar in a must-win game to keep their hopes of World Cup alive, coach Sergej Barbarez said.The two sides play on Wednesday (June 24, 2026) knowing they realistically must win to progress, after Bosnia’s opening draw with co-hosts Canada was followed by a chastening defeat by Switzerland in Group B.A draw would put Bosnia and Qatar on two points, surely not enough to qualify in third place, and Barbarez predicted the high stakes would make for an entertaining contest. The European side go into the game as favourites and victory would most likely set up a last-32 clash against co-hosts the United States.(With inputs from agencies)Follow for live updates:June 24, 2026 23:11 LineupLineups are announced and players are warming up.
