All football matches in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been postponed due to the state of natural disaster caused by floods and landslides.

Following an emergency session of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a state of natural disaster has been declared as a result of severe flooding and landslides. In response, all football matches under the jurisdiction of NS BiH scheduled in the Federation have been postponed.

Among the postponed fixtures are matches between Posušje and Široki Brijeg, GOŠK and Sloboda, Zrinjski and Igman, as well as the highly anticipated clash between Sarajevo and Velež. Additionally, all matches in the First League and other lower leagues in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been postponed.

Meanwhile, matches in other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, such as Radnik vs. Sloga and Borac vs. Željezničar, will go ahead as planned on Saturday and Monday.

The NS BiH has expressed its condolences to the families affected by the disaster:

"The Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina expresses its deepest condolences to the families of all those who have lost their loved ones in the catastrophic floods that have struck our country.
