Džeko with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2015

Edin Džeko is a Bosnian professional footballer who has been representing the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team as a forward since his debut in a 3–2 win over Turkey on 2 June 2007.[1] He also scored his first international goal in the match to level the scores at 2–2 in stoppage time of the first half.[1][2] As of 19 November 2024, Džeko has scored 67 goals in 139 international appearances, making him Bosnia and Herzegovina's all-time leading goalscorer.[3] He is also 31st on the all-time men's international goalscoring list and 11th in the list of UEFA players.[4] On 8 September 2012, Džeko scored his first international hat-trick in an 8–1 World Cup qualification win over Liechtenstein. This brought him up to 24 international goals, surpassing the record of 22 set by Elvir Bolić and Zvjezdan Misimović.[5] Liechtenstein are also the team that Džeko has scored more times against than any other, with eight goals against them. The majority of Džeko's goals have come in qualifying matches. He has scored 25 goals in World Cup qualifiers, including nine during the 2010 World Cup qualification round, where he finished as the joint second-highest scorer, alongside England's Wayne Rooney and one behind Greece's Theofanis Gekas.[6] Džeko has also scored seventeen goals in European Championship qualifiers (including one in the 2016 play-offs), and nine goals in the UEFA Nations League. He has only scored once in the World Cup finals, in a 3–1 win against Iran during the 2014 group stage.[7] The remainder of Džeko's goals, fifteen, have come in friendlies.
