Until1992 ,Bosnian footballers played forYugoslavia .
Bosnia and Herzegovina achieved their best result when they reached the2014 FIFA World Cup as winners of theirqualifying group .[ 4] group stage losses toArgentina andNigeria and a win overIran .[ 5]
The national team has never taken part in aUEFA European Championship .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
The team's highestFIFA World Ranking was 13th, achieved in August 2013.[ 9]
History Bosnia and Herzegovina's squad in an international friendly againstAustria in 2015 Bosnia and Herzegovina have seen a steady rise in their fortunes on the internationalfootball stage in recent times. Historically, they have managed multiple play-off appearances and qualified for oneFIFA World Cup . More often than not, the team produces solid results in qualifiers and challenges for a top spot.
From1920 to1992 , the players lined up forYugoslavia , but following the outbreak of the Bosnian War and subsequent independence, a new football nation arose from the ashes.
The early period saw Bosnia and Herzegovina have to wait until the1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to compete for a place in a major competition. Bosnia and Herzegovina finished fourth in a group that includedGreece ,Denmark ,Croatia andSlovenia . This was then subsequently followed by further disappointment with lackluster campaigns in theUEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers , as well as the2002 FIFA World Cup .[ 10] [ 11]
This early period was followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina coming very close toqualifying directly for their first major competition,UEFA Euro 2004 , narrowly missing out by a single goal against Denmark.[ 12]
Bosnia and Herzegovina failed to make the grade in the2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers , despite being unbeaten at home, and theUEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers , which saw their poor home form cost them. Bosnia and Herzegovina then experienced double heartbreak, bowing out twice in the playoffs toPortugal , first 2–0 on aggregate in the2010 FIFA World Cup decider and then 6–2 on aggregate in theUEFA Euro 2012 decider .[ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the2014 FIFA World Cup , their first major tournament, by beatingLithuania in October 2013.[ 16] [ 17] [ 18] [ 19] Argentina and won their first match 3–1 overIran .[ 20] Nigeria pipped them for second place in the group with a 1–0 win marred with controversy following an incorrectly-disallowed goal byEdin Džeko in the first half.[ 21]
In theUEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers , Bosnia and Herzegovina finished third behindBelgium andWales . After a bad start to the qualifiers with a surprise 2–1 defeat at home againstCyprus and managing just two points in four games,Safet Sušić was dismissed and replaced byMehmed Baždarević .[ 22] [ 23] [ 24]
After the slow start, Bosnian performance improved dramatically, with five wins in their remaining six matches, including victories over Wales andIsrael along with three clean sheets. However, they ultimately failed to qualify after atwo legged playoff encounter with theRepublic of Ireland .[ 25] [ 26] [ 27] qualify to the2018 FIFA World Cup .
Bosnia and Herzegovina won theirUEFA Nations League group and guaranteed aplayoffs berth forUEFA Euro 2020 qualifying . Still, they finished fourth in theirUEFA Euro 2020 qualifying group with the managerRobert Prosinečki , missing out on direct qualification and entered the playoffs,[ 28] Dušan Bajević , they ultimately missed out on yet another Euro after losing toNorthern Ireland onpenalties .[ 29] 2020–21 UEFA Nations League A , thus relegating them to the2022–23 UEFA Nations League B .
Following several years of disappointment, BulgarianIvaylo Petev was named as Bosnia and Herzegovina's new manager, marking the first time a Bosnia and Herzegovina manager was not from theformer Yugoslavia .[ 30] 2018 FIFA World Cup championsFrance and kept their chances of qualification alive until the final two matches; ultimately failing to qualify for the2022 FIFA World Cup . He also led the team to winning Group 3 of the2022–23 UEFA Nations League B , thus earning promotion back to2024–25 UEFA Nations League A and guaranteed a play-off berth for theUEFA Euro 2024 qualifying .[ 31]
They suffered disappointment in theirUEFA Euro 2024 qualifying group that saw three managers:Faruk Hadžibegić ,[ 32] [ 33] Meho Kodro [ 34] [ 35] Savo Milošević pick up only one win each for a total of 9 points and entered theplayoffs . There, they lost 2–1 toUkraine , failing to qualify forUEFA Euro 2024 .[ 36]

Nickname A popular nickname of all Bosnian national teams is "Zmajevi", popularized by football TV commentatorMustafa Mijajlović during theBelgium vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina (2–4)2010 WC qualification game on 28 March 2009.
General agreement among Bosnia and Herzegovina sports fans is that this nickname has historical context, as it is considered as an allusion to the famous Bosnian generalHusein Gradaščević , who fought for Bosnian autonomy, and who was known as the "Dragon of Bosnia".[ 37]
In both local and foreign media, they are sometimes referred to as theGolden Lilies , which was the original nickname given to all of the country's national teams by fans afterindependence , in reference to the official state insignia at the time (theflag and thecoat of arms ), which itself referred to thegolden lily , the historical state insignia that was featured on the coat of arms of the ruling Bosnian medievalKotromanić dynasty .[ 38]
Home stadiums Grbavica , in SarajevoCurrently, the national team usesBilino Polje Stadium as its home ground.[ 39] [ 40] [ 41] [ 42] [ 43] [ 44] [ 45]
Other stadiums Bosnia and Herzegovina has used areKoševo City Stadium andGrbavica Stadium .[ 46] [ 47] [ 48] [ 49]
Its training ground for domestic matches is theBosnia and Herzegovina FA Training Centre in Zenica, which was opened in 2013 in conjunction withUEFA .[ 50]
Supporters Bosnian supporters inBrussels , 26 March 2005[ 51] A large number of national team's supporters come fromNorthern andWestern Europe ,North America , and some from as far away asAustralia .[ 52] [ 53] [ 54] [ 55]
In the game againstNorway , at theUllevål Stadium inOslo on 24 March 2007, Bosnian fans caused an hour-long delay due to an unprecedented amount of flares that had been thrown onto the pitch in protest against corruption in the (now former) Football Federation of Bosnia.[ 56] Meho Kodro andElvir Bolić organised a friendly humanitarian game in Sarajevo called "Kodro, Bola and Friends" between former Bosnian football legends, in order to gain support, to say its time for changes in the Bosnian Football Association.[ 57] Azerbaijan in a friendly inZenica . The attendance inSarajevo was 15,000 while inZenica only about 50.[ 58] [ 59] [ 60]
Kits Bosnia and Herzegovina's traditional kit colours are blue and white, taken from thecountry's flag . While the current home kits are primarily blue, and the away kits are primarily white, this colour scheme was initially used in reverse order. This is due to the fact that the flag of theRepublic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RBiH), used before theDayton Agreement , was predominately white.
The team kit is currently produced by Spanish sports companyKelme .[ 61] m:tel .[ 62] Coca-Cola , ASA Osiguranje, andPrivredna banka Sarajevo .
