Fans of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team can rejoice as Federalna televizija (FTV) has secured broadcasting rights for all of the team's World Cup matches. This comes as excellent news on the day the team begins its tournament campaign.

While Arena Sport holds the overall broadcasting rights for the World Cup in Bosnia and Herzegovina, FTV's successful bid ensures that fans can follow their national team. The "Dragons" will play their opening match against co-host Canada at 9 PM Croatian time. FTV will broadcast this match, as well as the games against Switzerland on June 18 and Qatar on June 24.

Should Bosnia and Herzegovina advance past the group stage, it is expected that FTV will also acquire the rights to broadcast their knockout-phase matches. This development resolves the uncertainty fans faced until the last moment regarding the accessibility of their national team's games on public television.
