Slovan Bratislava, a squad besmirched in the annals of football history since their inception in the year of our lord, 1919. If you ever find yourself in Slovakia, you might spy them playing a home fixture at Tehelné Pole, exerting all the grit and might that's helped them cultivate their reputation.
The mettle of Slovan Bratislava, if one was inclined to quantify such a thing, could approximately be valued in the ballpark of £26m. This estimative figure, mind you, is not of our making, but the work of those pros who reside at Transfermarkt.
The strength of Slovan Bratislava not only lies in their sterling silver history but in the youthfulness of their legion. With a humble roster of 19 players, their average age barely touches the ripe old age of 28, a fraction of a decade.
Not maggots to be scoffed at, the lads from Slovan Bratislava have been seen toeing the line in no less than four competitions this season. They've established dominance at home, leading the peloton in the First Football League. They've seen action on the bigger stage as well, skirmishing in the Champions League Qualifiers until, alas, they found themselves halted at the 3rd Qual. Not to be undone, they took to the fields in a pair of European competitions, namely the Europa League Qualifiers where they faltered at the Play-Offs, and the ongoing Conference League's League Phase. Each of these struggles, a testament to their grit and never-say-die attitude.
