Bosnia and Herzegovina will host an inspired Italy in the final stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup European Playoffs, which take place on Tuesday (Wednesday IST) at the Stadion BIlino Polje, Zenica.
Italy had to work hard for a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland last week in the previous phase of the competition. Bosnia scored late to force extra time and penalties and eventually get past Wales in Cardiff.
Italy is trying to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in three editions under Gennaro Gattuso. This also applies to Bosnia, which reached the group stage in Brazil twelve years ago.
The winner of the competition will seal their ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the US, Mexico and Canada.
