Bosnia and Herzegovina women's national "A" team will participate in an international football tournament titled "Istra Cup" in Umag, Croatia from 1-8 March.

Coach Samira Hurem: "First of all I want to thank FFBIH for getting us in this year's Istra Cup, which is a quality tournament indeed. It represents our continued investment in women's football in our country. This will be our first gathering since the qualifiers, but in the meantime the players have been preparing in their teams and I expect them to be in a good shape. Lidija Kulis will be returning to the team after her back injury, and we all know how important she is to this team. We'll do our best to achieve the good result at the tournament."
