The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team has qualified for the World Cup, which is a great success for the team. The qualification for the World Cup is a truly fascinating success, comparable only to the historic trip to the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, says Salih Hadžialić, a retired sports journalist of Radio BiH, who covered four World Cups. He says that the path to this result was thorny, especially after the heavy defeats in the preliminary games against Germany and England, when the resignations of coach Sergej Barbarez and his colleagues were demanded, and no one could believe in the final triumph through the barrage. The key to success lies in the synergy of expertise and logistics, says Hadžialić. He also adds that Barbarez's persistence, character, and authority were crucial in bringing former teammates together around a common goal. At the end of the qualification, it was dramatic, which required enormous mental and physical effort from the team. From the drama in Zenica, to the selection without calculations, says Hadžialić. He emphasizes that coach Barbarez was the leader of the team, but also that experienced leaders like Dzeko and Kolasinac were important in achieving the goal. Hadžialić also says that football has shown its strength in uniting Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite political and other divisions. The football players of our country do more for the unification of Bosnia and Herzegovina than any politician, says Hadžialić. He believes that the whole of the former Yugoslavia will sympathize with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the championship. Before the first match at the World Cup against the host Canada in Toronto, former goalkeeper of the BiH national team Asmir Begović says that both teams have equal chances. Although he foresees a great atmosphere and great support from both the home team and the Bosnian diaspora, Begović believes that Bosnia and Herzegovina will give its all to present itself in the best way.
