Quick Answer

Who is Bosnia and Herzegovina's penalty taker?

Our final filed Bosnia and Herzegovina hierarchy had Edin Dzeko first, with Haris Tabakovic next in line.

Bosnia and Herzegovina are no longer a pure blank file after the March play-offs. There still is not a clean recent Bosnia in-match penalty to settle the order by itself, so this should not be treated as a high-confidence board, but the knockout run did add meaningful pressure evidence. Edin Dzeko remains the safest first-call projection because he is still Bosnia's captain and biggest decisive-match attacking reference, and he scored the crucial late equaliser against Wales. Haris Tabakovic now becomes the best secondary because he scored Bosnia's equaliser against Italy and then converted in both successful shootouts against Wales and Italy. That is enough to move the file into the reviewed medium-confidence bucket.

Why the board looks like this

1
26 Mar 2026: ESPN's Wales vs Bosnia shootout log shows Bosnia converted with Ermedin Demirovic, Haris Tabakovic, Ivan Basic, Amir Hadziahmetovic and Kerim-Sam Alajbegovic after Edin Dzeko had equalised late in normal time.

31 Mar 2026: ESPN's Bosnia vs Italy final score page shows Bosnia again won on penalties, with Benjamin Tahirovic, Haris Tabakovic, Kerim-Sam Alajbegovic and Esmir Bajraktarevic all converting.
3
Tabakovic also scored Bosnia's equaliser against Italy before converting in the shootout, which gives him the strongest fresh backup signal in the file.

Current working view: Dzeko remains the safest first-call projection, but Tabakovic now has the best live secondary evidence and Bosnia move into the medium-confidence reviewed bucket.
