Unlike all normal countries, the Bosnian football association has 3 equal presidents, just like the Bosnian state one for each Bosnian ethnicity. So since this is not normal the UEFA orders a change and an election of only one president, which so far the Bosnians have refused. The deadline is sometime at the end of March, and if still refused, the Bosnian federation and national selection and local teams will all be suspended and barred from all international competitions.
That's pretty much it.
Yep - sums it up pretty well.
We have until April 1st to change to Football Association statute to include only ONE president of the Association - and if we don't - automatic suspension by FIFA/UEFA for involvement of politics in football (and rightly so).
Now, there is a meeting of the Association on March 29th that we hope will get the deal done at the last second, but chances are next to none.
Worst scenario is we beat the sh*t out of Romania tomorrow (with Dzeko to score 1 or two :-)), get that 2nd spot in the group behind France...and then get suspended.
The sad part is that Bosnia never had a national team with potential even remotely close to current one (including alikes of Dzeko, Pjanic, Misimovic...)
...and NOW we will get suspended...bull.
