2016–17 Fortuna liga

The Slovak Super Liga is the top level football league in Slovakia, currently known as the Fortuna liga due to a sponsorship arrangement.^[1] It was formed in 1993 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The record for most titles is eight, held by Slovan Bratislava. The current title holders are AS Trenčín.

History

Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia (1918-1993). 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. During German occupation of Czechoslovakia Czech and Slovak clubs were competed in their own, separate competitions.^[2] The sole Slovak club in the league, ŠK Bratislava, was removed from the league and joined a new Slovak league, the Slovenská liga (1939-1945), in the newly-independent Slovak Republic.

The Golden Star

Based on an idea of Umberto Agnelli, the honor of Golden Star for Sports Excellence was introduced to recognize sides that have won multiple championships or other honours by the display of gold stars on their team badges and jerseys.

The current officially-sanctioned Fortuna Liga stars are:

ŠK Slovan Bratislava received in 2009
MŠK Žilina received in 2010
