​They call Bosnia and Herzegovina the "heart-shaped country" because of its geography. But today, it’s because of our people. 🇧🇦⚜️💙💛🤍 ​Our national team qualifying for the knockout phase of the World Cup is so much more than a sports victory. For a small country that has endured so much, football is the ultimate mirror of our spirit—stubbornly resilient, deeply passionate, and boundlessly joyful. ​This historic milestone is a testament to our "Dragons", who played with every ounce of their being, and the visionary leadership of Sergej Barbarez. Barbarez, a true icon of our football, has infused this team with the exact discipline, grit, and belief we needed to show the world what we are capable of. ​Seeing our streets filled with smiles, our diaspora united across the globe, and our flag flying high among the world's best is a feeling that's hard to put into words. It reminds us that no matter how small we are on a map, our capacity to love, fight, and celebrate is immense. ​From the legendary Edin Džeko leading on the pitch with his whole heart to Barbarez guiding them from the sidelines, thank you for making us dream. ​ „Bosna, da prostiš, jedna zemlja imade i posna i bosa, da prostiš, i hladna i gladna, i k tomu još, da prostiš, prkosna od sna.” 🐉⚽ #WorldCup2026 #DreamBigDreamBiH
