Handball Federation was founded in 1948, and was part of Yugoslav Handball Federation. When Bosnia-Herzegovina gained independence in 1992, it became national handball governing body, and later a member of European Handball Federation (1995) and International Handball Federation (1996).
Handball is the most popular sport in Bosnia-Herzegovina after football and basketball. There is a big number of clubs all over the country. Many Bosnian clubs were members of a very strong Yugoslav league, and RK Borac Banja Luka even won the EHF Champions League in 1975/1976 season.
Another team from B&H was famous in European competitions: Sloga from Doboj.
Unfortunatelly, national handball team have never managed to qualify for a major championship as they are always one step short. Mostly because of a frequent coach changes.
