It is known that after last year's election of the current FF BH management, UEFA gives even stronger and better support to the Federation. This is manifested through numerous development projects, as well as a concrete program of financial assistance to FF BH. This support is even more intense and more pronounced after the election of Alexander Čeferin as the UEFA President in September 2016. This is confirmed every day through concrete forms of cooperation, which significantly strengthens the position of FF BH in the European football family.

In the path of achieving its prosperity mission and realization of strategic goals, FF BH in full capacity can count on the use of UEFA funds in the future. Active cooperation with state institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina creates a real precondition for the full and effective realization of UEFA projects that help the development of sports, primarily football, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
