The Bosnian-Herzegovinian national football team represents Bosnia and Herzegovina in international women's football . The national team is subordinate to the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Football Association and has been active since 1997. The team is coached by Samira Hurem .

The team belongs to the B-class in Europe, which means that in some cases they could not qualify directly for the World and European Championships, but only had to qualify for the subsequent direct qualification during an ongoing qualification. She has not yet managed to do this. Bosnia-Herzegovina will only take part in the direct qualification for the EM 2013 and will meet the Italians , against whom they lost only 0-1 in the first game, Russia , Poland , Greece and Macedonia .

She played her first game against Slovakia in September 1997, as part of qualifying for the 1999 World Cup . As the bottom of the group you could not qualify for the 2003 World Cup. Also in the following qualification in 2003 you could not qualify for the 2007 World Cup. In 2004 she took part in the qualification for the European Championship. There they lost against Ireland with 1: 4 and against Croatia with 1: 6. The third game against Malta was won 2-0. The fourth game surprisingly ended 0-0 against Romania.

In qualifying for the 2007 World Cup , they started as an outsider against the superior Slovenians and Croatians with 0: 2 each. Then you could win against Malta 1-0, before you had to take another 1: 6 against Slovenia. In the last two games they surprisingly scored 4 points. They won against Croatia 2-1 and played against Malta 1-1. In autumn 2007 they won the mini-tournament in Sarajevo by beating Luxembourg 3-2, against Malta 1-0 and against Iceland 2-1. In the qualification for EM 2009, the "Cure" started surprisingly well. First you could get a 1-1 draw against Armenia and then win against Latvia 4-1. A victory against the team from Israel would have been enough to advance. Israel took a 2-0 lead, but Bosnia was still able to catch up. Shortly before the end, Israel scored two more goals and Bosnia then only made it 3: 4. As a consolation, the Bosnian women surprisingly won the 6-country tournament in Cyprus. Bosnia won in this tournament against Greece (1-0) and against Cyprus (3-1), but then lost against Wales 3-0 and only played 1-1 against Jamaica. On the last day of the match, the "Cure" surprisingly won 1-0 against Portugal and thus secured 1st place.
