Slovak Super Liga


The Slovak Super Liga is the top level football league in Slovakia, currently known as the Fortuna liga due to a sponsorship arrangement. It was formed in 1993 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The record for most titles is nine, held by Slovan Bratislava, which are title holders.

History

Czechoslovakia period

Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia. The first Slovak championship Zväzové Majstrovstvá Slovenska was played between Slovak teams ; until 1935-36, no Slovak team played in the Czechoslovak league. During the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, Czech and Slovak clubs competed in their own, separate competitions. The sole Slovak club in the league, ŠK Bratislava, was removed from the league and joined a new Slovak league, the Slovenská liga, in the newly independent Slovak Republic.
