The match was also the first friendly for BiH's newly united league, which until recently was divided between the football associations of the country's two entities:Republika Srpska (RS), and the Muslim-Croat federation.
To je takođe bila prva prijateljska utakmica nedavno formirane zajedničke lige BiH, koja je do nedavno bila podeljena na fudbalske asocijacije dva entiteta: Republike Srpske (RS) i Muslimansko-Hrvatske Federacije.
