In May 2002 the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was unified with the Football Association of Republika Srpska and the Football Federation of Herzeg-Bosnia. In April 2011 it changed its name from Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Due to the difficult political situation in Bosnia-Herzegowina the Association had since they became member of the FIFA in 1996 three presidents. One was a Bosniak, one a Croat and one a Serb. This was tolereted by the FIFA till April 2011. Then Bosnia- Herzegowina was banned from all competitions because this was against FIFA-laws.
