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.[3]

The first historic Bosnia and Herzegovina men's national team game took place during Sarajevo Champions Challenge 2016 Cup on 23 September 2016.[4][5]

The player roster is composed of players from clubs from the only coastal BiH city of Neum, Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Neum is the only town to be situated along Bosnia and Herzegovina's 20 km (12 mi) of coastline,[6] making it the country's only access to the Adriatic Sea marking an ideal location for sport expansion.
