Northern Ireland’s play-off with Bosnia moved to Sarajevo

The Bilino Polje Stadium had been due to host the match on October 8, but the pitch there had been left in a poor state after the UEFA Nations League match against Poland earlier this month, leading the Bosnian Football Federation to request permission to move it to the Grbavica Stadium in the capital.

The winner of the behind-closed-doors match will face either the Republic of Ireland or Slovakia for a place in next summer’s finals.
