[World Cup 2026] 40-year-old Dzeko starts for Bosnia national team against Switzerland A combination of veterans and young people

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team has announced the starting lineup for their match against Switzerland in Group B of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Edin Dzeko, 40, will start as captain and play a key role in the attack. Dzeko forms the top three along with Demirovic and Alai Begovic.

With a lineup that combines the dynamism of young players and the experience of veterans, they are poised to play an aggressive game against Switzerland. The midfield was filled with experienced players, creating a well-balanced lineup. The defensive line includes Kolasinac, Katić, Muharemovic, and others to solidify their defense.

In particular, Kolasinac is expected to have a strong presence as a center back. The team will use this lineup to take on the Swiss defense, aiming for their first World Cup victory. '' The member composition, which symbolizes generational change and coexistence of veterans, is attracting attention.

The match against Switzerland is the second round of Group B, and it will be Bosnia's first win. Although they have been losing in their most recent international matches, the team's reorganization has become clear with this lineup announcement. Dzeko's starting role is not just a symbolic appointment, but is expected to play a role as the starting point of the attack.

Also, Alaybegovic has been in good form with the club, and his performance in this match will determine the team's momentum. In the defense, Muharemovic is expected to take part in the attack as a left back, and a wide range of attacking patterns is expected. Bosnia's strategy is to combine the speed of young players with the experience of veterans.

In particular, Dzeko's presence is expected not only to serve as a mentor to young players, but also for his own scoring ability. The performance against Switzerland could boost the team's morale for future games. Additionally, Switzerland has had an advantage over Bosnia in past matches, and it will be interesting to see how effective Bosnia's new tactics will be.

In particular, the cooperation between Alaybegovic and Dzeko will be the key to changing the flow of the match. Bosnia will look to this match as important as they look to break away from their poor performance in the past few games. Dzeko's starting role will not only boost the team's morale, but will also be a great inspiration for the young players.

In particular, if young players can learn from Dzeko, they can expect further growth in future matches. Bosnia's tactical approach ahead of the match against Switzerland will also focus on exploiting their opponent's weaknesses. Switzerland's defense has shown weaknesses in past games, and Bosnia are developing strategies to exploit them.
