Like neighbours Croatia and Serbia, Bosnia is a relatively small country with a large pool of talented players to choose from. In a tough group, Bosnia has remained in contention throughout the campaign, with notable victories away to Norway and, more recently, at home to Turkey.

Unlucky to narrowly miss out on qualification for the 2006 World Cup in Germany and Euro 2004 in Portugal, it seems only a matter of time before Bosnia takes its rightful place on the world stage in the finals of a major tournament, and a strong surge in the final three matches of the campaign, one each against Greece, Turkey and Norway, could seem them achieve this for Euro 2008.
