The Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Nogometni/Fudbalski Savez Bosne i Hercegovine, N/FSBiH), based in Sarajevo, is the chief officiating body of football in Bosnia. The Bosnian football association was founded as the Sarajevo football sub-association of former Yugoslavia in 1920. In 1992 the association was re-founded as the football federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In May, 2002, Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was unified to include both Bosnian ethnic football associations.
Football reached Bosnia and Herzegovina at the start of the 20th century, with Mostar as the first city to embrace the game in 1905. Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Zenica and Bihać also picked up on the trend, and shortly thereafter, numerous smaller towns began to play as the game’s popularity spread to surrounding areas. The country was under Austro-Hungarian rule when official competition began in 1908, though these activities were on a small scale within each territory. At the outbreak of World War I, there were four clubs in Sarajevo and approximately 20 outside the capital. The creation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia post 1918 brought an increase in the number of leagues, and soon a domestic national championship was organised featuring two teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1920, the direct predecessor of the football federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina was founded as the Sarajevo football subassociation. The unified championship ran until 1939-1940.
The Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was founded after the Second World War, being affiliated to the Yugoslav Football Association. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s best sides played in the Yugoslavian first, second and third divisions with moderate success. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, in 1992 the association was re-founded as the football federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the season 1997–98 Bosnia-Herzegovina football league competition included both Bosniak and Bosnian Croat clubs playing against each other for a very first time. Before this, the leagues ran strictly divided along ethnic lines. Bosnian Serb clubs joined the league system in 2002.
In May, 2002, Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was unified to include both Bosnian ethnic football associations, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Association, based in Sarajevo, and Republika Srpska Football Association, based in Banja Luka. The unified Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina that includes clubs from both entities started from the 2002-03 season and is active today.
