Bosnia and Herzegovina's Euro 2024 qualifying clash with Liechtenstein was stopped after fans rained flares down onto the pitch.<\/p>\n

Bosnia were two goals to the good against the micro-nation when their fans started to throw projectiles onto the pitch. And as the referee went to stop the game, one firework almost struck the official.<\/p>\n

The Balkan state rose from the ashes of the Yugoslavian civil war to qualify for the 2014 World Cup – a high point for the small country. However, Bosnian fans have been left fuming at their FA in recent years, who they have accused of trying to "bury" the national team – leading to Friday's protest.<\/p>\n

"Winning on the pitch. Winning in the stands. The fight for a better future for Bosnian-Herzegovinian football has begun," one fan shared. A second said: "We have suffered for several years because of the Bosnian Football Federation, Bravo!"<\/p>\n

"We\u2018re such a fun country, truly never a boring day here," a third joked. And another added: "About time. Bravo BHF!"<\/p>\n

Last month, Bosnian FA's President Vico Zeljkovic said: "Are fans calling me out? I'm not aware! Maybe they should organise themselves better so I can hear."<\/p>\n

The clash eventually resumed, and the Bosnia registered a 2-0 win, but the Balkan side are still fourth in Group J. Bosnia only sit above Liechtenstein, who are yet to win this qualifying campaign, and a faltering Icelandic side.<\/p>\n

Bosnia are even behind Luxembourg in their Euro 2024 qualifying group.<\/p>\n
