Bosnia and Herzegovina prepares for match against USA at World Cup

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national soccer team is set to face the United States men's national team in a World Cup match at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The matchup is significant as Dubioza Kolektiv's anthem "I am From Bosnia, Take Me to America" has become a rallying cry for fans and a symbol of pride for the diaspora. Originally written as a statement on disillusionment, the song has transformed into a celebratory anthem aligning with the team's historic success in reaching the knockout stage of the tournament. Band member Vedran Mujagic noted the song’s repurposing amid a new era for Bosnian soccer, marked by players who are children of refugees rather than refugees themselves. The match represents a culmination of the team's journey in the World Cup.
