Bosnia and Herzegovina handball federation crisis

Overview

The Handball Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Rukometni savez BiH) has effectively ceased operations due to a combined legal and financial crisis. The organization lost its legal continuity after the Ministry of Justice rejected decisions from its assembly, citing invalid documentation.

This legal collapse has resulted in the loss of the federation’s official website and the erasure of its player registration database, preventing clubs from registering athletes. Additionally, the federation faces significant tax debts dating back to 2015 and has been unable to pay its head coach, Damir Doborac, for 19 months. The situation threatens the upcoming season and the national team’s preparation for European qualifiers.
