Hundreds of fans took to the streets after the NSBiH sacked national coach Meho Kodro last week because he refused to lead the team in a friendly against Iran, scheduled for May 26.
The former Bosnia captain turned coach said he had not been consulted about the fixture.
The protesters gathered in downtown Sarajevo at noon, carrying placards reading "Mafia" and "Association Out" and chanting offending slogans against the NSBiH officials.
Special police forces in full combat gear intervened after some protesters began throwing stones, bottles, smoke bombs and a stun-grenade at the FA building and into the crowd.
"We detained more than 30 people after a peaceful protest turned into vandalism," Sarajevo police spokesman Jusuf Zornic said. He added that two policemen and a police dog were injured in the clash but no major damage was reported.
