Venue for Bosnia v Northern Ireland Euro 2020 playoff set to be confirmed

The venue for Northern Ireland's Euro 2020 playoff with Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to be confirmed on Friday.

Michael O'Neill's side will be on their travels for the semi-final on March 26.

The one-legged tie will determine who progresses to the Path B playoff final where they will play the winners of Slovakia vs Republic of Ireland.

It is widely expected that Bosnia vs Northern Ireland will take place at the Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica.

The stadium is the home of Bosnian Premier League football club NK Celik and is one of two grounds used by the Bosnian national team.

The other is the Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo where Northern Ireland played Bosnia in the UEFA Nations League last year.

Bosnia played their first Euro 2020 group game against Armenia in Sarajevo but have played their other four games in Zenica.

Bilino Polje has a capacity of 15,292 and is a grass pitch which is sometimes used by the Bosnian rugby union team.

It is understood that the semi-final playoff venue will be announced at Friday's official draw in Nyon, Switzerland.
