Bosnia’s World Cup pursuit begins at a home-away-from home in the American Midwest

ST. LOUIS, Missouri: Far from its European homeland, Bosnia and Herzegovina has zealous fans in the American Midwest as it prepares for its second World Cup. An estimated 60,000-70,000 Bosnians live in St. Louis, with many arriving in the early 1990s during the Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia. Bosnia faces Panama on Saturday in an international friendly at St. Louis’ Energizer Park and plays World Cup group matches in Toronto (vs. Canada), Los Angeles ( vs. Switzerland) and Seattle (vs. Qatar).
