The 2012 Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup Final will be the 17th final of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup, the highest football cup competition in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The date of both 2012 Final matches, as in all the recent years, is set so that it avoids clashes with Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina fixtures. Both matches will take place on Wednesday, between two rounds of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The current holders, Željezničar, defended their title and brought home the fifth cup title it their history. Winning this cup, they also completed the double, as they already won the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, their second double in history and the first double any team won since the unification of the Premier league in 2002.
Since all clubs started the competition from round of 32, so did Željezničar, the defending champions, also. Their first opponent was Leotar. In single fixture game on Grbavica stadium, they secured their position in the next round. Zdravko Šaraba made a foul on Vernes Selimović in the penalty area, which Zajko Zeba pointed for 1–0 in the 43 minute. Seconds before the halftime, Željezničars goalkeeper, Elvis Karić, boxed the ball to avoid danger, but outside the 16 meter box, earning a direct red card. His place was taken over by the veteran Adnan Gušo, with the captain, Mirsad Bešlija, leaving the field as a substitute. The final score was set by Muamer Svraka, who came in the game just two minutes before that, in the 73 minute for 2–0.
