FK Inter Bratislava (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈinter ˈbracislaʋa]) is a football club based in Bratislava, Slovakia, temporarily playing its home matches in Stupava.

History

Inter Bratislava was founded in 1940 by the Apollo refinery (later renamed Slovnaft). Following the end of World War II and the re-establishment of Czechoslovakia, the club developed into an important force in Czechoslovak football. While it remains unclear, whether it is Inter Bratislava or FK ŠKP Inter Dúbravka Bratislava, who can claim the successful run of Červená Hviezda Bratislava in the 1950s and early 1960s as its own, club's achievements in the subsequent decades (as TJ Internacionál Slovnaft Bratislava) can be hardly disputed. Between 1962 and 1993 the club spent 29 out of 31 seasons in the Czechoslovak First League, finishing twice as runner-up in the 1970s and winning the Slovak Cup in the seasons 1983–84, 1987–88, and 1989–90. Over these years, a number of Inter players represented Czechoslovakia at senior level. In 1976, Jozef Barmoš, Ladislav Jurkemik, and Ladislav Petráš were in the squad that won the UEFA Euro 1976. Four years later, Barmoš and Jurkemik were also a part of the side that finished third at the 1980 European Championship. In a decade that followed the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Inter went on to flourish in the newly established top tier of Slovak football as well as in the Slovak Cup, winning the Slovak double in the 1999–2000 and 2000–2001 seasons.

Inter's fall and re-establishment

Inter Bratislava won the 1. liga in the 2008–2009 season and was supposed to be promoted to the Slovak top flight. However, financial problems of the club led its owner Ľubomír Chrenko to sell Inter's licence to FK Senica in June 2009. As a result, players of the senior squad of Inter Bratislava joined Senica, whilst youth teams of Inter were preserved by the Inter Bratislava Civic Association, which had been formed from the Inter Fan Club.

The senior side was re-established in the 2010–2011 season, playing in the V. liga, i.e. the sixth tier of Slovak football. Major changes in the structure of the club were accompanied by Inter's move from the Štadión Pasienky, which had been used by the team since 1967, to the considerably smaller Štadión Drieňová ulica. After playing at the Štadión Drieňová ulica for four seasons, the senior team moved to the Štadión ŠKP Inter Dúbravka in the summer of 2014. The grounds have a capacity of 10,200. Since the season 2015/2016 due to unknown issues the Men team returned to stadium Drieňová ulica and the youth teams remained on Stadium ŠKP Inter Dúbravka. In the autumn part of the season 2016/2017 Inter was playing home matches on the stadium in Petržalka on Marie Curie-Skłodowska street (stadium of FC Petržalka akadémia), but in spring 2017 the team moved to the city of Stupava, where the team owners created the training center for Inter. The future plans are to return to Bratislava, Stupava serving as the training center.

Transfers

Inter have produced numerous players who have gone on to represent the Slovak national football team. Over the last period there has been a steady increase of young players leaving Inter after a few years of first team football and moving on to play football in leagues of a higher standard, with the German Bundesliga (Vratislav Greško to Leverkusen in 1999), Turkish Süper Lig (Juraj Czinege to Elazığspor in 2003, Roman Kratochvíl to Denizlispor in 2002), Super League Greece (Miroslav Drobňák to Xanthi F.C. in 2003, Marián Šuchančok to Akratitos F.C. in 2002, Marián Ľalík to Panionios F.C. in 2003, Czech First League (Marek Čech and Peter Babnič to Sparta Prague in 2004 and 2001, Peter Németh to FC Baník Ostrava in 2001), Russian Premier League (Zsolt Hornyák to FC Dynamo Moscow in 2001). The top transfer was agreed in 2001 when 23years old forward and topscorer Szilárd Németh joined Premier League team Middlesbrough F.C. for a fee €6.75 million which was the highest ever paid to a Slovak club.
