context_page_description: Muhamed Bešić is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Everton, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
  Bešić started his professional career at Hamburger SV, playing mainly in its reserve team, before joining Ferencváros in 2012. Two years later, he moved to Everton, who loaned him to Middlesbrough in 2018 and to Sheffield United in 2019.
  A former youth international for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bešić made his senior international debut in 2010, and is the youngest player ever to represent the country. He made over 40 caps since and represented the nation at their first major tournament, the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
context_section_description: Bešić claimed in an interview that he had declined an offer to play for Germany, because he only wished to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was first part of Bosnia and Herzegovina under-21 team.
  In November 2010, he received his first senior call-up, for friendly game against Slovakia, and debuted in that game on 17 November. Bešić thereby became the youngest player to ever play for Bosnia and Herzegovina on senior level. The record was previously held by Miralem Pjanić.
  In June 2014, Bešić was named in Bosnia and Herzegovina's squad for 2014 FIFA World Cup, country's first major competition. He made his competition debut in the opening group match on 15 June, which ended in narrow loss to Argentina at the Maracanã Stadium.
