After an exciting start in Trebinje, the Red Bull Four 2 Score caravan arrived last weekend in Kakanj, where 16 teams seized the opportunity to move one step closer to the national final through a fast and unpredictable game format. Throughout the day, it was clear that no match was decided in advance, with small differences and crucial moves at key moments making the decisive difference.
This time, the competition also began with a group stage in a round-robin format, followed by elimination duels that determined the final standings. The four best teams securing a spot in the national final in Sarajevo were Linex, St(r)eel(t) City, Misterija, and Ždralovi. Although only four teams advance further, all squads displayed exceptional competitiveness and a desire for the best possible placement. On the field, fast attacks alternated, and matches often remained open until the very end.
Additional energy was brought to the event by host Muhamed Mizić, while referees Bakir Behlulović, Edib Sikira, and Ertan Kusić ensured a fair and dynamic flow of the competition with their engagement. A special charm was added to the tournament by the performance of one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most famous freestyle footballers, Maido Delić, who delighted the audience, especially the youngest, with his tricks and further elevated the atmosphere.
The tournament in Kakanj was held in a sunny setting and in front of a large number of spectators, who followed the exciting matches throughout the day and cheered for their favorites. Although passions on the field were heated, the entire event took place in a fair and sportsmanlike atmosphere.
Red Bull Four 2 Score brings a unique game format that rewards speed, resourcefulness, and timely reactions. Matches last 10 minutes, played without goalkeepers and without a break, with an added element of uncertainty from the rule that goals scored in the first and last minute count double, making matches unpredictable until the final seconds.
The qualifiers continue on April 18 in Tuzla, where another 16 teams will get a new chance to secure a spot in the national final, ready to join the fight for the title and a place at the world finals in Toronto.
