Sergej Barbarez was without a doubt one of the most beloved players of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. After an extremely successful playing career, he never had any doubts about what he wanted to do. The only thing he ever wanted was exactly what he’s doing now — to be the head coach of the BiH national team.

The head coach of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national "A" football team has been admitted to the University Clinical Hospital in Mostar due to abdominal issues.

On today’s FIFA ranking of the world’s best national teams, Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks 72nd with 1349 points.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s national team will play its next match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Austria on September 9, 2025, at Bilino Polje in Zenica, with kickoff at 20:45.

Despite a 2:1 defeat in the friendly match with Slovenia, the impressions from the coaching staff and the Dragons' locker room were generally positive.
