The Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national team's historic first game took place during Sarajevo Champions Challenge 2016 on 23 September 2016.[3][4]
The player roster is composed of players from clubs from BiH's only coastal city of Neum, and the two largest cities - Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Neum is the only city to be situated along Bosnia and Herzegovina's 20 km (12 mi) of coastline,[5] making it the country's only access to the Adriatic Sea and marking an ideal location for sport expansion.
