“In a situation where the whole of Europe is against the Russian Federation, a match with Russia is what we need the least now,”

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.
