How to Get to Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium #
Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium (Koševo) sits in the Koševo neighborhood of Sarajevo within the city’s Olympic sports complex. From Sarajevo’s central area you can reach the stadium by a short taxi or bus ride; local city buses serve Koševo and match-day shuttle services are usually available.

Tips for Visiting Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium #
- If you want to experience the matchday atmosphere, arrive well before kick‑off to join local fans in the surrounding terraces and streets; for a quieter visit, go on a non‑match day when guided tours or a walk around the Olympic complex are possible.
- Buy tickets through the club's official channels to avoid scalpers and confirm opening times around fixtures-stadium facilities and access points are busiest near match start and close quickly afterwards.
- Take time to walk the slopes and viewpoints above Koševo stadium for a broader panorama of Sarajevo; many visitors focus only on the bowl and miss the city views from the surrounding hills.
