This article lists results for FK Željezničar in European competition.

FK Željezničar Sarajevo is a professional football club based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and is most famous for becoming the first Bosnian football team to reach both the UEFA Cup (now UEFA Europa League) semi-finals during the 1984–85 season and the quarter-finals during the 1971–72 season, and one of the first few teams ever to do so from former Yugoslavia.[1]

In the modern times, the club has never qualified for UEFA Champions League as best club could reach was 2002–03 Champions League third qualifying round, losing to Newcastle United 0-5 on aggregate.[2] Club is also yet to qualify to UEFA Europa League since the competition format change from UEFA Cup during 2009–10 season.

Since 1998, Željezničar plays its home European matches at the nations largest Olympic stadium, Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium (formerly Koševo Stadium), as their traditional home stadium, Grbavica Stadium, does not satisfy UEFA requirements as it once did before the Bosnian war.

Despite this fact, the club rarely loses at home in Sarajevo, and statistics show that in all minor European tournaments, Željezničar has only lost 5 home matches from 35 played (not including European Cup/UEFA Champions League), while the away statistics show the team tends to win less away, with only 8 won from 35 played. Željezničar is far less successful when playing in UEFA Champions League preliminary stages, having faced 8 opponents, it only triumphed versus two on aggregate over the course of clubs history.
