The Case For Them

Velež work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Stadion Rođeni, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

Easy weekend
Mostar International Airport (OMO) is about 11km from the ground, and Raštani railway station is 2km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following Europe UEFA Europa Conference League means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Bosnia and Herzegovina becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1922 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Loaded cabinet
7 distinct honours on record, including First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina:. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
