The team will play Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday in the round of 32. A captain said the players are not feeling added external pressure and are focused on challenges that may arise during the match. The captain noted that the team felt more pressure ahead of its opening group game than for the upcoming knockout match.
The captain also said the squad must be ready for different approaches from opponents. This will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides. Their most recent friendly occurred in December 2021, and only a small number of current squad members participated in that match.
