The selector of the women's U-17 national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ilija Lucić, stated:

"Three years ago, when we received the information that we would host the European Championship, that information surprised and delighted us. Like our men's cadet team, which has been to the European Championships three times, we also wanted to make such a success. Our wish came true through this household and I hope we will justify expectations. A lot of effort has been invested in organizing all of this. The girls are also excited and we are all eagerly waiting for the first match. We already met earlier with Germany and Denmark, but we do not have that experience against the Netherlands, so we were mostly focused on them during the preparations. Of course, also because we play the first match with them. All three teams are strong, but I think that Germany will be the toughest opponent. "
