Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup is an annual football competition held in the entity of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to determine ten participants of Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup. Competition has no winner.
Each canton FA organizes its own cup, held in Fall through early summer next year and each canton has two berths in Federation Cup. That makes 20 teams. Then, 20 teams are drawn to make 10 matchups of the final, which are played over one leg in late August or early September. Winners (10) qualify to national cup. Big problem is lack of interest at both clubs and cantonal FAs so Federation Cup never had 20 teams - if there are no 20 teams, some teams, depending on draw, get bye to national cup. Competition has no winner although it only stage is called final.
From 2014-15 season, new format was introduced. It was still 20 teams, but 16 spots were awarded to teams from First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina while remaining 4 spots were filled with teams from cantonal cups.
As there were changes in Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina number of teams from 2016-17 season, this cup was supposed to qualify two more teams to national cup. New format was introduced. There were two rounds. In First round 16 teams from lower leagues, still qualified through their respective canton cup, would play each other with winners qualifying to Second round where they were paired with 16 teams of First League of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 12 winners qualify to national cup.
