The Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national water polo team represents Bosnia and Herzegovina in international water polo competitions and friendly matches. It is governed by the Water Polo Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2013.[2]
The Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national team's historic first game took place during Sarajevo Champions Challenge 2016 on 23 September 2016.[3][4]
The player roster is composed of players from clubs from BiH's only coastal city of Neum, and the two largest cities - Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Neum is the only city to be situated along Bosnia and Herzegovina's 20 km (12 mi) of coastline,[5] making it the country's only access to the Adriatic Sea and marking an ideal location for sport expansion.
