Slovakia played their first match in 2006 against the Principality of Monaco and lost 0-6. However, the points went to them after it was discovered that Monaco had used ineligible players.
In 2009, they withdrew from European competition for financial reasons,[1] after having been unable to secure sponsorship. However, they returned to European competition in 2010, playing in the 2010–12 European Nations Cup Third Division.
The new dynamic has been supported by the city of Bratislava and the Government of Slovakia.
