Founded in the post-war calm of 1919, Slovan Bratislava make their base at Tehelné Pole, a sturdy old ground nestled within the heart of Slovakia.
Valued squarely at £24m, a figure backed up by the good folks at Transfermarkt, the player cadre at Slovan Bratislava is not to be sniffed at.
The squad itself is a spry gathering of 30 players, none of them quite reaching the grand age of 30, and most settling in around the more comfortable figure of 26 years old.
Populating their footballing calendar with a diverse assortment of fixtures this season, Slovan Bratislava have shown their metal in 3 separate competitions, not the least of which being an impressive first place outing in the First Football League. In addition to this domestic success, they are also making promising strides within the craggy uphill path of the Champions League Qualifiers (Play-Offs) and rubbing shoulders with Europe's finest in the Champions League (League Phase).
