Pre-season controversy

In June 2021, at the end of the 2020-21 season, Igokea, Borac and Spars did not show up to the final tournament due to the disagreements with competition system and schedule.^[1][2][3] As a result, the title was awarded to Široki as a walkover^[4] and Igokea, Borac and Spars were fined, and initially relegated to a lower-tier competition.^[5] On 5 October 2021 the drew was held with 11 participating teams.^[6] The championship officially began on October 16, but three matches were cancelled because teams from Republika Srpska boycotted the competition because of board's decisions made in June.^[7][8][9]

On 19 October the board of the league after appeals decided that Igokea, Borac and Spars will be fined, but not relegated.^[10] New draw was held and competition continued with 14 teams instead of 11.^[11]
