The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Football Association ( Bosnian Nogometni / Fudbalski Savez Bosne i Hercegovine , or NFSBIH for short) is the football association of Bosnia and Herzegovina . The football association was founded in 1992 and became a member of the world football association FIFA for the first time in 1996 . Until 1992 the football association was part of the Yugoslav Football Association .

Euro 2008

The Bosnian Football Association and the Croatian Football Association applied to host Euro 2008 . But it was awarded to Austria and Switzerland.

The Bosnian Premier League

The first season of the Bosnian Premijer Liga was already in year of the war played out in 1994, first in tournament. The 24 teams were divided into four groups, which held their games in the city of the group head (in this case: Sarajevo, Jablanica, Tuzla and Zenica) within two weeks. The two group leaders each qualified for a quarter-finals, the winners of which in turn played the championship in group mode. Despite many interruptions due to repeated shelling of the stadium in Zenica , the home team NK Čelik Zenica prevailed against FK Sarajevo , FK Željezničar Sarajevo and NK Bosna Visoko . The team also won the championship in the following two seasons, which were now played in league mode.

In 1996, the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Football Association split into the Football Association of the Republika Srpska (FSRS) and the Football Association of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NSF), each of which founded their own leagues. In 2000, the associations merged again and put their respective top division together. In the first season of the joint first division, 22 teams competed against each other, until today this number has been reduced to 16. The second to fifth leagues are still designed to be two-pronged.

On April 1, 2011, FIFA and UEFA temporarily suspended the NFSBIH, as the NFSBIH General Assembly on March 29, 2011 failed to achieve a majority in favor of an amendment to the statutes as requested by FIFA and UEFA.
