Just before the training this morning, new BIH football team captain Edin Dzeko addressed the media:

"We've just arrived at FFBIH training center, and we're all very happy, we have everything we need at our disposal. There are few young players in the team, and I believe they will take this opportunity to become worthy replacements of those who left us earlier. I also have a bigger responsibility now to replace Spahic as a captain. The first match against Cyprus is very important to us, it would be great to start the qualifying round with three points. It won't be easy because this time there are more teams, including Cyprus, who will seek their chance to get to the second place. Our goal is direct placement to EURO, and we have to approach every match very seriously."
