'New team' set for Oslo trip

Ten new names are among Fuad Muzurović's 25-man Bosnia-Hezegovina squad for the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier against Norway in Oslo on 24 March.

'A new team'
Former Under-21 internationals Vedad Ibišević, Edin Pehlić, Edin Džeko, Eldin Jakupović, Boris Pandža and Ajdin Maksumić have received their first senior call-ups along with Mario Božić, Ivan Radeljić, Darko Maletić and Adnan Čustović. Elvir Rahimić is in the squad although he did not respond to a previous call-up. "This is a new team," said Muzurović, who was reappointed in December having led the national team between 1992 and 1997. "It is not the same as the one that started qualifications, but still strong enough to take on Norway."
