Sports organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina have issued various disciplinary sanctions and fines across football and basketball.

In the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League, football clubs including FK Željezničar, FK Sarajevo, and HŠK Zrinjski Mostar received significant financial penalties for misconduct. These infractions involved the use of pyrotechnics, throwing objects onto the pitch, and instances of “racism or other forms of discrimination,” insults, and slander.

Following this, the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NSFBiH) imposed sanctions on officials in the First League of FBiH due to officiating errors, including failures in applying VAR. These penalties included match suspensions for referees and observers. Additionally, the Basketball Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued fines to several clubs, such as KK Slavija 1996 and KK Radnički Goražde, for unsportsmanlike conduct by players and coaching staff.
