Bosnia and Herzegovina have seen a steady rise in their fortunes on the international football stage in recent times. Historically, they have managed multiple play-off appearances and qualified for one FIFA World Cup. More often than not, the team produces solid results in qualifiers and challenges for a top spot.

From 1920 to 1992, the players lined up for 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 qualifiers to compete for a place in a major competition. Bosnia and Herzegovina finished fourth in a group that included Greece, Denmark, Croatia and Slovenia. This was then subsequently followed by further disappointment with lackluster campaigns in the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers, as well as the 2002 FIFA World Cup.{{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 }}{{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}}

This early period was followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina coming very close to qualifying directly for their first major competition, UEFA Euro 2004, narrowly missing out by a single goal against Denmark.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7b312dc669-427a01210a26-1000--denmark-do-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 }}

Bosnia and Herzegovina failed to make the grade in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, despite being unbeaten at home, and the 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, first 2–0 on aggregate in the 2010 FIFA World Cup decider and then 6–2 on aggregate in the UEFA Euro 2012 decider.{{cite web |title=Spain – 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 }}{{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}}{{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}}

In the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers, Bosnia and Herzegovina finished third behind Belgium and Wales.

After the slow start, Bosnian performance improved dramatically, with five wins in their remaining six matches, including victories over Wales and Israel along with three clean sheets. However, they ultimately failed to qualify after a two legged playoff encounter with the Republic of Ireland.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Draws/02/26/73/74/2267374_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Fixture List – Centralised friendlies|publisher=UEFA|date=28 July 2017|access-date=5 October 2017|archive-date=8 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170908053009/http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/Draws/02/26/73/74/2267374_DOWNLOAD.pdf|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/news/0253-0d80bcc85fde-b0beb05a59fb-1000--walters-double-takes-ireland-to-uefa-euro-2016/|author=uefa.com|title=Walters double takes Ireland to UEFA EURO 2016|date=16 November 2015|access-date=16 November 2015|archive-date=17 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117200245/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/qualifiers/season=2016/matches/round=2000447/match=2018082/postmatch/report/index.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://au.eurosport.com/football/euro-qualification/2016/jon-walters-double-sends-jubilant-ireland-to-finals_sto4991451/story.shtml|author=eurosport.com|title=Walters strikes twice to send jubilant Ireland to Euro 2016

A popular nickname of all Bosnian national teams is "Zmajevi", popularized by football TV commentator Mustafa Mijajlović during the Belgium 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 general Husein Gradaščević, who fought for Bosnian autonomy, and who was known as the "Dragon of Bosnia".{{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}}

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 independence, in reference to the official state insignia at the time (the flag and the coat of arms), which itself referred to the golden lily, the historical state insignia that was featured on the coat of arms of the ruling Bosnian medieval Kotromanić dynasty.{{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}}

{{Commons|Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team kits}}

Bosnia and Herzegovina's traditional kit colours are blue and white, taken from the 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.{{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}} The general sponsor of the team is m:tel.{{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 }} Also sponsoring the team are Coca-Cola, ASA Osiguranje, and Privredna banka Sarajevo.
