The 2011–12 Kup Bosne i Hercegovine is the seventieth season of Bosnia and Herzegovina's annual football cup. The competition started on 14 September 2011 and concluded on 16 May 2012. The winner would have qualified to the second qualifying round of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League,[1] but as the cup was won by the league champion, the slot went to the second placed team in Premier league of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was Široki Brijeg who also ended up as the runner-up of the cup.

The defending champions FK Željezničar, having won their 4th title the previous year by defeating NK Čelik in the final with an aggregate score of 4–0, managed to defend their title and claim their fifth one against Široki Brijeg in final which they won 1–0 on aggregate, completing the double for that season as they won the league title four day before the second leg of the final.[2][3]

All top clubs entered from the first round of 32.

Semi-finals

The remaining 4 teams will play in this last round before the final. It will consist of 2 two-legged fixtures which will take part on 14 March and 4 April this year. The draw was done on 6 March.

Team 1 Agg. Team 2 1st leg 2nd leg
Željezničar 4–0 Borac 1–0 3–02
Široki Brijeg 2–0 Velež 1–0 1–0

1 All teams are from Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first league tier.
2 The game on Gradski stadion in Banja Luka was stopped in the 65 minute by result 0–1 for Željezničar when one of the assistant referees were hit by a solid object in the head. While medical care was given to the referee, the delegate first decided to empty the east stand, the stand where Lešinars (the ultras fans of Borac) are, from where the object came from, but not long after, realizing the tension, because, as they say, "weird" actions by the main referee, while the east stand was emptying out, the delegate aborted the match.[30][31] The disciplinary and contest commission decided to award Željezničar a 0–3 win[32] and to punish Borac with a 5.000€ fine and the next six home matches without spectators.[33]
