Ivan Šunjić: Bosnia and Herzegovina World Cup 2026 Role Guide
Team Context
Bosnia and Herzegovina are competing in Group B. A disciplined Bosnia side balancing Dzeko's last act with younger wide runners and Barbarez's defensive order.
Player Role
Ivan Šunjić
Ivan Šunjić is a midfield unit option in Bosnia and Herzegovina's 4-4-2. If Dzeko is available, Bosnia lean into a classic 4-4-2 with Demirovic close by and Alajbegovic or Bajraktarevic giving the attack younger legs from wide areas. Expected minutes: 60-90 if selected in the projected XI.
