History

Czechoslovakia period

Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia (1918–1939 and 1945–1993). The first Slovak championship Zväzové Majstrovstvá Slovenska was played between Slovak teams (1925–1933); until 1935-36, no Slovak team played in the Czechoslovak (professional, state) league. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1939 and the establishment of the German-allied Slovak Republic, the sole Slovak club in the Czechoslovak, ŠK Bratislava, played in the new Slovak league, the Slovenská liga (1939–1945).
