First League of Herzeg-Bosnia

First League of Herzeg-Bosnia

The First League of Herzeg-Bosnia served as the top football league for Croatian clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the country's war and post-war periods of the 1990s. During these years, football was divided along ethnic lines, with the Croat, Bosniak and Serb populations each running their own league. Because Bosniaks were the only group interested in a distinctly Bosnia-Herzegovinan league and national team, only their league was recognized by Bosnia-Herzegovinan FA.

The league formed in 1993. In the 1997/1998 season, the top Croat teams began facing the top Bosniak teams for entrance to UEFA tournaments, something that had been denied the Herzeg-Bosnia league on its own. This setup lasted until the 2000/2001 season when the two leagues merged to form the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
