Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
Since the federalization in 1968, Czechoslovakia had divided citizenship, either of the Czech Socialist Republic or of the Slovak Socialist Republic (the word 'Socialist' was dropped from both names shortly after the Velvet Revolution). This distinction, however, had little effect on the citizen's life. On January 1, 1993, all Czechoslovak citizens automatically became citizens either of the Czech Republic or the Slovak Republic, based on their previous citizenship, permanent residence address, birthplace, family ties, job, and other criteria. Additionally, people had one year's time to claim the other citizenship under certain conditions.
Slovak Super Liga
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. 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.
