When you get the privilege of hosting a big competition under the auspices of UEFA for the first time, then you take care of every single detail. A competition such as the Women's U-17 European Championship, which will be held in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 3 to 15 May 2022, deserves the best possible ambassadors, and there is no better choice for this role than the captains of the men's and women's "A" national teams, Edin Džeko and Milena Nikolić.

The City of Mostar is the cultural, political, and economic center of Herzegovina and the administrative center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton / County. The city is located on the Neretva River, and according to the latest census from 2013, it has about 105,000 inhabitants, including suburbs.
