The ‘new’ Olympic Museum of Sarajevo is now located in premises of the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Zetra complex. The museum documents the preparation and organization of the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, and owns a collection of graphic art from around the world, titled ‘Art and Sport’. The museum frequently organizes screening of documentary movies and video footage showing the events during the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Today it is home to football club FK Sarajevo and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. The club proposed the new name Asim Ferhatovic – Hase in honor to its former footballer and club’s legend. It’s a multi-purpose stadium which hosted a mass twice. First time in 1997 by Pope John Paul II and second time in 2015 by Pope Francis.
