From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football Cup of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Kup Bosne i Hercegovine) is a knock-out football competition contested annually by clubs from Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is also known as the Bosnian Cup. The winner qualifies for the UEFA Cup.

Until 1999/2000 season, three separated cups were organized. In 1998, for the first time, Bosnia-Herzegovina got its official cup winner after the "Super final" between FK Sarajevo and HNK Orašje (winners of two different cups). In 1999/2000 season, normal cup format was organized for the first time in Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Since, 2001/2002 season, clubs from entire country are competing in the Cup.
