Bosnia and Herzegovina national cadet football team gathered last night at the hotel Park in Vogosca, and this morning they departed for Gorizia where they'll play two friendlies with Italy - tomorrow at 17:00 hours, and on Aug. 26th (11:00).

Because this event was scheduled outside of an official FIFA calendar, Hertha BSC's player and team member Miralem Ramic wasn't allowed to come, so he had to be replaced by Kenan Dervisagic from FK Sarajevo.

Assistant coach Damjan Ratkovic: "This check-up came at the right time, and it will allow us to see where we stand performance-wise. Italy is a team that ranks very well when it comes to youth football. We're facing two very challenging games, however we'll try to do our best in order to prepare for the upcoming qualifying tournament."
