 ==Football Association==
+{{Main articles|Slovak Football Association}}
-The [[Slovak Football Association]] was a member of FIFA from April 1939 to 1945 and resumed in 1994.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Member Association - Slovakia|url=https://www.fifa.com/associations/association/svk/about|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028033808/https://www.fifa.com/associations/association/svk/about|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 28, 2020|last=FIFA.com|website=www.fifa.com|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-05-27}}</ref>

+{{Main articles|Slovak First Football League|Slovak Cup|Slovak football clubs in European competitions}}
+==National teams==
-The Slovak club's football tournament is held every season in the so-called [[Slovak First Football League|Fortuna liga]]. It is the highest division and is sponsored by [[Fortuna (cigarette)|Fortuna]]. The first Slovak football league was formed in its current form in 1993, when the common league was discontinued after the end of the federation with the Czech Republic. In [[2007–08 Slovak Superliga|2007-08]] it averaged at about 3000 spectators per game. However, it has to be taken into consideration that Slovakia only has 5.5 million inhabitants. The clubs sell their players to financially stronger clubs from western Europe. Examples of players that have succeeded in notable leagues are [[Marek Hamšík]], who is captain of Italian club [[SSC Napoli]], [[Peter Pekarík]] who captains [[Bundesliga]] side [[Hertha BSC]] or [[Martin Škrtel]], a well-known former [[Liverpool FC|Liverpool]] centre-back currently playing for [[Fenerbahçe S.K.|Fenerbahçe]]. Moreover, over the last few years more and more youngsters have been given chances to perform regularly in the league and as the result, many transfers were to be seen. For example [[Leon Bailey]], [[Milan Škriniar]], [[Stanislav Lobotka]] or [[Samuel Kalu]] could have been seen playing football at Slovak stadiums recently.

-[[Slovak Cup]] is the football cup competition for Slovak club teams. It is organized annually by the Slovak Football Federation (Slovenský futbalový zväz, SFZ).
