The Slovakia men's national basketball team (Slovak: Slovenské národné basketbalové mužstvo) represents Slovakia in international basketball competition. The supervising body is the Slovak Basketball Association (SBA).

Slovakia is one of the newest national basketball teams in the world, having split from Czechoslovakia following the dissolution of the unified state in 1993. They joined FIBA later that year, and played in their first international match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Slovakia to date does not have much history on the international level. Although they have attempted to qualify for major tournaments such as EuroBasket and the FIBA World Cup, but have yet to reach qualification.

History

The Czechoslovak era

Until 1993, Slovakia was a part of Czechoslovakia, with Slovak born players taking part on the Czechoslovakia national team. One of the most notable players who was born in Slovakia, and played for the Czechoslovakia national team to achieve success at the international level was Stanislav Kropilák. He helped lead Czechoslovakia to three medal finishes at the EuroBasket, in 1977, 1981, and 1985.

After independence

After gaining independence from Czechoslovakia, the Slovak national team on numerous attempts during their early years strived to qualify for EuroBasket, but ultimately came up short. In qualification to reach EuroBasket 2017, Slovakia was slotted into Group F to begin the qualifiers. Slovakia, however, would go on to struggle to a (1–5) record and missing their chance to qualify.

For qualification to the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Slovakia took part in European Pre-Qualifiers, but were eventually eliminated after amassing a (1–5) record in their group. Slovakia later went through EuroBasket 2022 Pre-Qualifiers, but were once again denied of making it to the continental stage, after finishing with a (3–5) record during pre-qualifying.

The Slovakia basketball team, known simply as "Slovakia," is a competitive and talented group of players representing the country in international basketball competitions. Comprised of skilled athletes who are passionate about the game, the team is known for their strong work ethic, teamwork, and determination on the court.

Slovakia has a rich basketball history and has produced many talented players who have gone on to compete at the highest levels of the sport. The team is known for their fast-paced and exciting style of play, with a focus on strong defense and efficient offense.

With a dedicated coaching staff and a roster of talented players, Slovakia is a formidable opponent for any team they face. They have a strong fan base that supports them both at home and abroad, cheering them on as they strive for success on the international stage.

Overall, the Slovakia basketball team is a respected and competitive force in the world of basketball, and they continue to make their mark on the sport with their skill, passion, and dedication to the game.
