Slovakia will participate in the FIFA World Cup for the first time in their history as an independent nation after finishing in first place in 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 3 ahead of Slovenia, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, and Poland. On 14 October 2009, they clinched qualification with a 1-0 away win against Poland.
Slovakia were then drawn in a seven team group for their attempt to reach the 2006 World Cup in Germany. In twelve matches they lost only once, away to group winners Portugal. Having out-qualified Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Latvia and Estonia, the Slovak’s went into their final group match against Russia level on points with their opponents, and a tense 0-0 draw saw them clinch second place, and finally advance to the play-off stages for a place in a major tournament. Unfortunately they were then drawn against Spain, by whom they were beaten 5-1 in Madrid. A 1-1 draw in Bratislava saw the Slovak side eliminated.
As Slovakia is participating for the first time in the FIFA world cup 2010, so they are eagerly waiting for the event to show up what they are. Now you can get Slovakia world cup tickets online.
