The Bosnia and Herzegovina Euro 2024 squad will come around sooner than you think, with the country aiming to qualify for their very first European Championship.
Bosnia and Herzegovina's only major tournament appearance so far came at the 2014 World Cup; they've lost in the play-offs for each of the last three Euros.
Can they get over the line this time? Ukraine await in the play-off semi-finals, with the winner facing either Iceland or Israel in the final for a spot at this summer's marquee event in Germany.
