==History==
{{main|History of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team}}
[[File:20150331 2028 AUT BIH 2186.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Bosnia and Herzegovina squad vs. Austria, international friendly, 2015]]
Bosnia and Herzegovina have seen a steady rise in their fortunes on the international [[Association football|football]] stage in recent times. Historically, Bosnia and Herzegovina has managed multiple play-off appearances and has qualified for one [[FIFA World Cup]]. More often than not, the team produces solid results in qualifiers and challenges for a top spot.

From [[Creation of Yugoslavia|1920]] to [[1992 Bosnian independence referendum|1992]], the players lined up for [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]], 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 the [[1998 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 1|1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers]] to compete for a place in a major competition. Bosnia and Herzegovina finished fourth in a group that included [[Greece national football team|Greece]], [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]]. This was then subsequently followed by further disappointment with lackluster campaigns in the [[UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying Group 9|UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers]], as well as the [[2002 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 7|2002 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.klix.ba/sport/nogomet/prije-16-godina-bih-je-igrala-sa-grckom-u-kalamati/121012128#3 |work=klix.ba |author=Fuad Krvavac |title=Prije 16 godina BiH je igrala sa Grčkom u Kalamati |date=12 October 2012 |access-date=12 October 2012 |language=bs |archive-date=23 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123020634/http://www.klix.ba/sport/nogomet/prije-16-godina-bih-je-igrala-sa-grckom-u-kalamati/121012128#3 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3JBhovWV4k#t=1098 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211107/U3JBhovWV4k| archive-date=2021-11-07 | url-status=live|work=Sabahudin Topalbećirević|author=Al Jazeera Balkans |title=Naša brazilska priča (Our Brazil Story)|date=15 June 2014 |access-date=18 June 2014 |language=bs}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

This early period was followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina coming very close to [[UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying Group 2|qualifying]] directly for their first ever major competition, [[UEFA Euro 2004]], narrowly missing out by a single goal against Denmark.<ref name="Uefa.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2004/matches/round=1579/match=69314/postmatch/report/index.html#denmark+just+enough |publisher=UEFA |author=Uefa.com |title=Denmark do just enough |date=12 October 2003 |access-date=12 October 2003 |archive-date=3 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130603172905/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2004/matches/round=1579/match=69314/postmatch/report/index.html#denmark+just+enough |url-status=live }}</ref>

Bosnia and Herzegovina failed to make the grade in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 7|2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers]], despite being unbeaten at home, and the [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group C|UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers]], which saw their poor home form cost them. Bosnia and Herzegovina then experienced double heartbreak, bowing out twice in the playoffs to [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], first 2–0 on aggregate in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA second round|2010 FIFA World Cup decider]] and then 6–2 on aggregate in the [[UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying play-offs|UEFA Euro 2012 decider]].<ref name="Spain - Bosnia-Herzegovina Match Report WC Q 2006">{{cite web |title=Spain&nbsp;– Bosnia-Herzegovina Match Report WC Q 2006 |author=uefa |date=8 June 2005 |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/germany2006/preliminaries/preliminary=8071/matches/match=36663/report.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212083646/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/germany2006/preliminaries/preliminary%3D8071/matches/match%3D36663/report.html |archive-date=12 December 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/news/newsid=1785745/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018185836/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/news/newsid=1785745/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 October 2012 |work=fifa.com|author=fifa.com |title=First-half flurry sees Bosnia-Herzegovina cruise|date=16 October 2012 |access-date=16 October 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/67/world-cup/2013/10/15/4335794/bosnia-herzegovina-qualifies-for-first-world-cup|title=Bosnia-herzegovina qualifies for first world cup|date=15 October 2013|work=Goal.com|access-date=16 October 2013|archive-date=20 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020115014/http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/67/world-cup/2013/10/15/4335794/bosnia-herzegovina-qualifies-for-first-world-cup|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Nickname===
A popular nickname of all Bosnian national teams is "Zmajevi" ([[Serbo-Croatian]] for "dragons"), popularized by football TV commentator [[Mustafa Mijajlović]] during the [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina (2–4) [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 5|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 general [[Husein Gradaščević]], who fought for Bosnian autonomy, and who was known as the "Dragon of Bosnia".<ref>{{cite web|title=BH Dragons|url=http://www.bhdragons.com/|publisher=bhdragons.com|access-date=19 January 2014|location=USA|format=website|archive-date=21 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140121195423/http://bhdragons.com/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In both local and foreign media, they are sometimes referred to as the ''Golden Lilies'', which was the original nickname given to all of the country's national teams by fans after [[1992 Bosnian independence referendum|independence]], in reference to the official state insignia at the time (the [[Flag of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina|flag]] and the [[Coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina|coat of arms]]), which itself referred to the [[Golden Lily (Bosnia and Herzegovina)|golden lily]], the historical state insignia that was featured on the coat of arms of the ruling Bosnian medieval [[Kotromanić dynasty]].<ref name="Golden Lilies blossoming">{{cite web|title=Golden Lilies blossoming|access-date=10 October 2009|date=9 April 2009|publisher=FIFA.com|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/news/newsid=1046853.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090412093440/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/news/newsid%3D1046853.html|archive-date=12 April 2009|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

===Home stadiums===

Bosnia and Herzegovina also uses [[Bilino Polje Stadium]], located in the city of [[Zenica]], for many of its home games.

===Kits===
{{Commons|Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team kits}}
Bosnia and Herzegovina's traditional kit colours are blue and white, taken from the [[Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina|country'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 the [[Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] (RBiH), used before the [[Dayton Agreement]], was predominately white.

The team kit is currently produced by Spanish sports company [[Kelme (company)|Kelme]].<ref name="KELME NOVI TEHNIČKI SPONZOR NS/FS BIH">{{cite news|url=https://www.nfsbih.ba/vijesti/kelme-novi-tehnicki-sponzor-ns-fs-bih/|title=KELME NOVI TEHNIČKI SPONZOR NS/FS BIH|website=nfsbih.ba|date=11 March 2023|access-date=11 March 2023|language=bs|archive-date=11 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311142807/https://www.nfsbih.ba/vijesti/kelme-novi-tehnicki-sponzor-ns-fs-bih/|url-status=live}}</ref> The general sponsor of the team is [[Mtel Bosnia and Herzegovina|m:tel]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nfsbih.ba/reprezentacije/muske-reprezentacije/a-reprezentacija | title="A" Reprezentacija | access-date=26 March 2022 | archive-date=23 May 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523204837/https://www.nfsbih.ba/reprezentacije/muske-reprezentacije/a-reprezentacija/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Also sponsoring the team are [[Coca-Cola]], ASA Osiguranje, and Privredna Banka Sarajevo.
