Bosnian coach Vahid Halilhodzic commented on the organization of the sparring between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Russia.
“Bosnia and Herzegovina will really play against Russia? Aren't UEFA and FIFA against this?
Behind this lies something big, something stinking. I don't know... At a time when the whole world is condemning Russia for what is happening in Ukraine, news comes that we will play a friendly match with them. I'm really surprised and don't know what to say. This is the path to nowhere.
Sometimes I think that certain persons in BiH are doing everything to destroy it at any cost. Both in economic and sports plans.
Sport should not be part of politics,” summed up Halilhodzic.
