Bosnia and Sweden Set 26-Man World Cup Squads as Džeko, Gyökeres Lead the Charge

The countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially accelerated as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sweden became the first nations to finalize their official 26-man squads for the tournament.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s selection is headlined by their legendary captain, Edin Džeko. At 40 years old, the veteran striker is prepared to lead his country's attack on the global stage once more, providing irreplaceable experience and leadership to a squad looking to make an impact. Bosnia is scheduled to kick off their tournament on June 12 against Canada following the Toronto opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, Sweden has announced an incredibly potent attacking frontline capable of threatening any defense in North America. The Swedish squad will be spearheading its campaign through the lethal strike partnership of Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak. Both forwards arrive at the tournament in peak form, carrying the high expectations of Swedish fans on their shoulders.

With the FIFA final squad submission deadline of May 22 rapidly approaching, these two European nations have laid down an early marker, locking in their tactical blueprints and shifting their focus entirely to pre-tournament training camps.
