 Ski area at Bjelasnica by mtncorg Bjelasnica was developed for the Downhill events for the 1984 Winter Olympics. Hotels that were present during the war in the '90's were gutted in the fighting, though on now has been rebulit. The ski slopes are open during the season for skiing and hiking is possible out into the forests of the Bjelasnica. Several traditional villages exist atop the long mountain slopes. You might want to check with Green Visions for information on possible hiking tours they are leading and for information on possible mine locations - always a problem in BiH for the moment.

 Crazy Football Supporters all over Sarajevo by sabsi, 2 more photos We came to Sarajevo on the day one of the local footie clubs, FK Sarajevo, won the Bosnian league. On the way into the city we were stuck in traffic already - with crazy supporters all around us. Strangely enough they were all wearing Arsenal shirts because FK Sarajevo is wearing bordeaux coloured outfits as well ;) When we went into town in the evening to meet VTer Santiago we ended in the official championship party which was huge. Thousands of people were singing the club song on the streets and there was a stage on Ferhadija where obviously the team was celebrated. It's was a thrilling atmosphere which seemed rather friendly. Only when a beer bottle crashed down to the ground only one metre next to where we were standing we escaped. We met Santiago in a bar in Dalmatinska to watch the Champions League Final between Milan and Liverpool FC which unfortunately the wrong team won. When we went home there were still people singing in the streets. They obviously didn't care much for the Champions League.
Whatever you wear, it should be bordeaux when FK Sarajevo plays, blue if NK Zeljeznicar plays ;) A helmet wouldn't be bad for championship celebrations ;) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: All over town

by neodue During my childhood time( 80's) in turkish football teams most foreigner players comes from former Yugoslavia and most of them were from Bosnia or Bosniak. I can tell you their names and where they were play.Saffet Susic (he never played in Turkey) Tarizk Hodzic,Repcic etc.When I was in Sarajevo I remembered those days. FK. Sarajevo is Muslims Football club. Football Club Sarajevo is a professional football club based in Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Formed on October 24, 1946, the club was one of the most successful Bosnian sides in the former Yugoslavia, winning two First League titles. Today it is one of the most prominent members of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Premier League, where it has won two championships and four Cups. Sarajevo plays its home games at Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium, a 35,630 seat venue located in the city's Koševo neighborhood. Horde Zla, the team's supporters organization since 1986, traditionally occupies the stadium's north side. The club is strongly associated with its bordo colors, the Koševo stadium, and former stars such as Asim Ferhatovic and Safet Sušic, as well as with the city of Sarajevo and Bosnia in general. FK Sarajevo was established less than a year after the liberation of Sarajevo from Nazi rule by Partisan forces. The result of a combination between football teams Udarnik (roughly translated: one in the forefront) and Sloboda (Liberty), the club first appeared on the Yugoslav sports scene in 1946 under the name S.D. Torpedo. It played its first match on November 3rd 1946. By 1947, the name was changed to S.D. Metalaca Sarajevo, before being simplified to FK Sarajevo in 1949. FK Sarajevo first entered the renowned First League of Yugoslavia after eliminating Sloga from Novi Sad. FK Sarajevo drew the first match 3-3 in Novi Sad, but then dominated the second match in Sarajevo 5-1. FK Sarajevo lasted only one season in the First League before falling out, but made it back in 1950. From there, FK Sarajevo remained a stable component of the First League every year except the 1957-1958 season. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The Grbavica stadium is a real football shrine, however Zeljo, throughout it’s history had played home games at different locations. After the second world war, Zeljo has played at the Sixth April stadium which was located at Chenich Vila. This stadium was a host to Zeljo’s games in the ‘46/47 season. During that season, Zeljo was the only club from BiH that played in the 1st Yugoslav League. In 1953, the works at stadium Grbavica were finally completed. The opening game was played on 13th of September and Zeljo won that game against Sibenk (Croatia) 4:1. The stadium was operated and managed by a closely knit group of volunteers from RSD Zeljeznicar. In the very begingin the staudim had a running track, however the track was later on removed. During the ’68 to 76 time period the stadium went thru a series of reconstructions and Zeljeznicar played it’s games at the municipal Koshevo stadium. During the Serbian attacks on the city of Sarajevo the old wooden part of the stadium went up in flames and was permanently destroyed. The field and the surrounding ares itself were in the middle of the war activities and the whole area was the playground for some of the biggest battles in the city of Sarajevo. After the reintegration of the city, Zeljeznicar regained the control over the stadium and it was officially reopened on the 2nd of May 1996. The opening match was between Zeljo and FK Sarajevo and the game Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: GRBAVICA-SARAJEVO

 The Sarajevo Olympic Ski Jump Hill by mtncorg This was the Olympic ski jump hill. There is o more ski jumping, but locals collect herbs and mushrooms around here, in season. The old ski jumping hills are some distance from the old venues on Bjeljasnica. Heavy fighting took place throughout the region, as in in evidence with roadside shrines and cemeteries.
You need something to hold the mushrooms and herbs you. Be careful where you tread as mines are still in the area. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
