Bosnia and Herzegovina Women's Premier League

Bosnia and Herzegovina Women's Premier League (Bosnian/Croatian, Serbian: Ženska Premijer Liga BiH) is the top level women's football league of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since 2013 the league is being unified. Before it was played in two separate groups based on league systems confined within Bosnia's entities, one being the First Women's League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the other First Women's League of the Republika Sprska, with the champion being decided through play-offs.

Contents

The winner of the play-off qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

The league draws little media attention in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the funding is often inadequate and clubs lack infrastructure, in some cases even basic training facilities.

History

Until 2013 the league was divided into the NFSBiH league and the league of the Republic of Srpska. The best two teams of the NFSBiH league qualified for a play-off in which the champion of the Republika Sprska women's football championship joined. The venue for the play-off was decided beforehand and it was played as three-team group.

Format

The teams play a double round robin after which the two best-placed teams advance to 3 team play-off group with the best placed club from Republika Srpska.

In 2014/15 eight teams play a triple round-robin for 21 matches in total.

2012–13 Teams

The 2012–13 season is played by the following six teams.
