FK Željezničar Sarajevo in European football

This article lists results for FK Željezničar in European competition.

A brief history

FK Željezničar Sarajevo is a professional football club based in Grbavica in Novo Sarajevo; a municipality in the capital city Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and is most famous for becoming the first Bosnian football team to reach both the UEFA Cup (now UEFA Europa League) semi-finals during the 1984–85 season and the quarter-finals during the 1971–72 season, and one of the first few teams ever to do so from former Yugoslavia.[1]

In the modern times, the clubs best finish in European competitions was reaching 2002–03 Champions League third qualifying round, losing to Newcastle United.[2]

Since 1998 to 2015, Željezničar played its home European matches at the nations largest Olympic stadium, Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium (formerly Koševo Stadium), as their traditional home stadium, Grbavica Stadium, did not meet UEFA requirements. Since recent renovations at Grbavica Stadium, the club plays its home matches back at home ground.
