Bosnia and Herzegovina penalty taker

Edin Dzeko is our current Bosnia and Herzegovina penalty taker call, with Haris Tabakovic next in line if the order changes.

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.

If you searched for Bosnia and Herzegovina penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Edin Dzeko is the current first-choice call for Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Haris Tabakovic the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
