Edin Dzeko is poised to make history at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Bosnia and Herzegovina announces its first squad for the tournament. Dzeko, who has earned 148 caps and scored 73 international goals, is among the players expected to compete despite being over 40 years old.

He aims to join an elite group of players who have participated in the World Cup at this age, including Roger Milla, who scored for Cameroon in 1994. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been drawn into Group B alongside Canada, Qatar, and Switzerland.

The squad features a total of 26 players, including notable names such as Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are also expected to play in the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking Bosnia's second appearance in the tournament.
