[edit] History
ŠK Slovan Bratislava is a Slovak football team, based in Bratislava. The club became the second Central European team to win a major European trophy, winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1969 (Dinamo Zagreb won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1967). Slovan and its predecessors, NV Bratislava and ŠK Bratislava, won the Czechoslovak title eight times and the Slovak title eight times as well. Club's home ground is Tehelné pole stadium. Slovan's major rivals in Bratislava are Inter Bratislava. Formerly the two clubs were the same team but split up just after 1965. Along with Spartak Trnava, Slovan were the only real Slovak challengers in the Czechoslovak championship and the two clubs have a bitter rivalry, the game is considered the most prestigious match in the Slovakian football calendar.
The club suffered a major blow after being relegated to the Slovakian 2nd division. Slovan have had several successful players grabbed by larger European clubs in recent years; Szilard Nemeth (to Middlesbrough) and Peter Dubovsky (to Real Madrid) to name but a few. Slovan's most recent youth product is national team player Robert Vittek who moved away from the club to German side 1.FC Nürnberg on Slovan's relegation.
After two seasons playing in the second division, ŠK Slovan have returned to top flight football.
