Bosnia qualified by eliminating Italy on penalties in the UEFA playoff final — one of the biggest upsets in qualifying history. Italy will miss a third consecutive World Cup for the first time ever.
Their only previous World Cup appearance was in 2014 in Brazil, where they beat Iran 3-1 for their first-ever World Cup victory. Edin Džeko scored the opener.
Bosnia's national team unites a country that was torn apart by war in the 1990s. Football matches for the national side are among the few events that bring all communities together.
