The Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina was founded on June 4, 1992. Mr. Stjepan Kljuić was elected as the first President of the NOC, Mr. Uglješa Uzelac as deputy, and Mr. Izudin Filipović was elected as General Secretary. The founding assembly of the NOC BIH was chaired by Mr. Ahmed Karabegović.

After the establishment and the first performance of our country's athletes at the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, it was followed by official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which made its decision at the meeting of the Executive Committee in Monaco on September 24, 1993.

After its establishment and international recognition, the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina was registered in the registry of the Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 8, 2002, as the first sports organization in which national sports federations join. By entering this register, as well as by signing the Lausanne Declaration of July 28, 1999, the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina was constituted as the umbrella sports body of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The first logo of the BIH Olympic Committee was created by the academic painter Mersad Berber.
