SARAJEVO (Reuters) -- FIFA has banned the stadium in the Bosnian town of Zenica for two games because a Spanish player was hit by an object thrown from the crowd in a World Cup qualifier last month, Bosnia's Football Association (NSBIH) said on Wednesday.
The 14,000-seat stadium in Zenica, where home fans usually create a noisy atmosphere and where the team are unbeaten for several years, was also the centre of controversy a year ago before Bosnia's deciding qualifier for Euro 2004 with Denmark.
UEFA ordered Bosnia not to play in Zenica because the Bilino Polje stadium's infrastructure did not meet the required criteria and the match was moved to the Kosevo.

The concert in the Kosevo Olympic stadium - rebuilt last year after suffering heavy damage during the 3 1/2-year war - has, in its own way, accomplished miracles.
About 45,000 people were expected to pack the stadium for Tuesday night's concert, which fulfills a pledge made by U2's lead singer Bono when he spent the first postwar New Year's Eve with Sarajevans in December 1995, weeks after the war ended.

 Bosnia Report - November-December 1997 - After U2
The village of Karakaj near Zvornik has two claims to fame: it lies near the border-crossing through which one enters the marvellous world of Republika Srpska; it is also the place where one can leave this world behind.
On 23 and 24 September many citizens of FRY had crossed this and other border-crossings in order to attend, at Sarajevo's Kosevo football stadium, a rock spectacle such as has not been seen in these parts since the Rolling Stones' prewar visit to Zagreb: the concert of the Irish mega-stars U2.
It was not difficult to reach Sarajevo; it was quite easy being there, even for those afflicted with a Belgrade drawl; but the way back to the bosom of the mother country turned out to be quite traumatic.

The concert venue, Kosevo Stadium, had been used as a mass open graveyard during the bloody war that pitted Serb, Croat and Moslem factions against one another and killed more than 200,000 people.
The food catering area for the concert was in a part of the stadium that had been used to interrogate prisoners of war, sometimes violently and fatally, during the conflict that devastated much of this region of Eastern Europe.
And it was hard to put things out of our mind, like the fact the stadium we were playing in had been a graveyard during the war.
