Kick-off on October 9, 2025, at 21:45.

The AEK Arena in Larnaca will host a Matchday 7 fixture of the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament in Group H. The Cyprus national team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This match is important for both sides, though their objectives differ. Bosnia and Herzegovina are engaged in a tight race for first place in the group with Austria. Both teams have 12 points after five rounds, with Bosnia and Herzegovina currently leading on goal difference. A victory over Cyprus would allow the Bosnians to maintain their lead and move closer to securing a direct ticket to the World Cup. It is worth noting that Bosnia and Herzegovina have shown a strong attacking form in away qualifying matches. MEGOGO will broadcast the Cyprus vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina match online on October 9, 2025.

Cyprus sits fourth in Group H with 4 points from five matches, having recorded one win, one draw, and three losses, with a goal difference of 5-7. Although the Cypriots are eight points behind the leaders, they are determined to improve their position and continue their progress. In the previous round, Cyprus ended a losing streak by showing great character and battling back from 0-2 to earn a 2-2 draw with Romania.

The first meeting between these teams in the current qualifying cycle took place on March 24, 2025, and ended with a narrow 2-1 victory for Bosnia and Herzegovina. In that match, Ermedin Demirović and Haris Hajradinović scored for the Bosnians, while Ioannis Pittas netted Cyprus’s only goal. Shortly after scoring, Pittas was sent off, leaving his team with ten men for the remainder of the match. It is expected that the Bosnia and Herzegovina coaching staff will once again rely on veteran Edin Džeko, the team’s all-time leader in appearances and goals.
