World Cup History
Team History: Bosnia & Herzegovina FIFA World Cup record
Bosnia and Herzegovina only appeared once at a World Cup when they reached the group stage in Brazil 2014. This is the starting point for a team who are still building their experience and record at the World Cup. They are in the UEFA qualifying rounds for 2026 and have no secured a spot yet, so the goal is to convert their one tournament experience into a second finals campaign. Looking ahead to 2026, they have little World Cup history, but a strong desire and motivation to compete.
