Bosnia & Herzegovina 3

 

Vedad Ibisevic (Hertha BSC, GER)
vs. Ireland (1:1) | Euro Qualifier | 2015 in Bosnia

Usually, Bosnia does wear blue in home matches - often with golden details, as the flag has it. Given that, I felt I should get a blue/gold Bosnia shirt myself and snapped this one up for 20€ at some point. It is not a very imaginative design, but rather a plain one, but thanks to the colour combination, it is just nice enough.

It definitely is the best of my Bosnian shirts by design now. Hence, I took this one to Sarajevo in 2023 to snap up my "shirt collection on tour" pic, wearing it just in the very center of the Sarajevo old town:

Bosnia is really an incredibly beautiful country. The scenery just happens to be breathtaking wherever you go, really. But one highlight of the trip, for sure, was seeing the Sarajevo derby, which happened to be held during my visit. Zeleznicar and FK Sarajevo met, playing out a fierce rivalry. There was so much pyro that parts of the match where hard to see - but the atmosphere just was incredible and surprisingly super peaceful, too. If you ever get a chance to see the derby: Go for it!
