Asim "Hase" Ferhatović (January 24, 1933 in Sarajevo - January 25, 1987) is widely regarded as the best football player in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[citation needed]

Asim Ferhatović started his professional football career in 1948 for FK Sarajevo. During the 1950s and 1960s, Ferhatović led FK Sarajevo to great heights, and became the club's best and most famous player, scoring 198 goals in 422 games. His greatest personal achievement was becoming lead scorer in the Yugoslavian First League with 19 goals for FK Sarajevo in the 1963/1964 season.

Ferhatović's retirement was one of the most important events in Sarajevo sports history, and the local newspapers ran the headline Jedan je Hase! (There is Only One Hase!) in his honour on that day.

The Bosnian rock band "Zabranjeno Pušenje" wrote a song in honour of Asim Ferhatović called "Nedelja kad je otišo Hase" (translation: The Sunday when Hase left).

Sarajevo's Olympic Stadium is named after Asim Ferhatović - Hase.
