I believe that this match will be played. Let's see, there is still time before the appointed date. But I don't think the people who negotiated the game are ready to back down. Yes, football players can boycott the match, but it is possible to assemble a squad that agrees to play for the national team, said Milorad Dodik in an interview with N1.
We should add that a friendly match between the national teams of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Russia is scheduled for November 19. However, most of the players of "yellow and blue" said that they are not going to participate in this match.
Republika Srpska is a state entity on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed as a result of the Dayton Agreement. The majority of the population of this region are Serbs.
We will remind that the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have suspended the participation of Russian clubs and national teams in all competitions. The relevant statements were published on the FIFA and UEFA websites on February 28.
