The Padel Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially established during a founding assembly in Sarajevo. The organization was formed through an agreement between the Padel Association of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Padel Association of Republika Srpska.

Mladen Dodig was elected as the first president, with Aldin Šetkić and Bojan Božić serving as vice presidents. The association intends to develop the sport nationally by popularizing padel, connecting clubs across both entities, organizing championships, and establishing player rankings, youth programs, and infrastructure development.
