The 2011–12 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the twelfth season of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highest football league of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 2011–12 fixtures were announced on 5 July 2011. The season began on 6 August 2011 and ended on 23 May 2012. A winter break with no matches was scheduled between 28 November and 3 March,[2] but was extended for a week due to heavy snowfalls.[3] Borac lost their title from the previous season to Željezničar, which secured the first position after round 27, with 3 matches left to play.[4]

Sixteen clubs participated in the season, including fourteen returning from the 2010–11 season and one promoted club from each second-level league.

Teams

Budućnost Banovići and Drina Zvornik were relegated to their respective second-level league at the end of the 2010–11 season. Both clubs returned to the second tier after just one year each at the Premijer Liga.

The relegated teams were replaced by the champions of the two second-level leagues, GOŠK Gabela from the Prva Liga FBiH and Kozara Gradiška from the Prva Liga RS. Kozara returned to the top league after eight years in second level and GOŠK debuted in the top level.

Season events

Incident in Travnik–Borac game

The match between Travnik and Borac was abandoned during halftime after the main referee of the match was attacked by a member of Travnik.[65] The disciplinary commission fined Travnik and pronounced that the team would play their next two home matches without spectators,[66] though this was later reduced to a single match.[67]

Away fans ban

The ban on away fans commenced on 8 October 2011 by the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina after a pair of incidents caused by Ultras groups. Intended to end in 2011,[68] the ban was extended to the start of the 2012–13 season.[69]

Several incidents preceded the ban:

The ban was lifted on 31 July 2012, before the start of the 2012–13 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[83]
