Bosnia and Herzegovina, Edin Dzeko

Edin Dzeko will play his final match for Bosnia and Herzegovina when the Dragons face Sweden on October 2, bringing an end to an outstanding international career.

The 40-year-old striker announced his decision on social media, admitting that the moment had been difficult to put into words.

In a post obtained from FIFA’s website on Thursday, Dzeko was quoted as saying, “Sometimes I found myself wondering when this moment would come. But I never imagined how emotional I would be writing these words.”

“On October 2nd, against Sweden, I will play my next and final match for our national team.”
