Member of the Executive Committee of the Football Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina Azmir Husic spoke about the possible holding of a friendly match between Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in St. Petersburg. Recall that the football associations of both countries decided that such a match would take place in November.
“The match with Russia is what we need the least now. I defended Bosnia and Herzegovina with my body, and now I am ready to defend it with my tongue. I was the first to say that I would do my best to prevent this match with Russia from taking place. In a situation where the whole of Europe is against Russia, we definitely do not need such a match. And when I say this, I am defending the interests of my country.
I don’t know if UEFA can disqualify us for a friendly match with Russia. Let Serbia and Croatia play with the Russians first - they are closer to Moscow. Then, perhaps, we can play with them too, ”Sport Avaz quotes Husic as saying.
