History

1946–1948: Early years

The predecessor of the great Červenka, the National Security Sports Club, was founded in February 1946 at the founding meeting. The club was based on the former ŠK Bratislava field in Petržalka. The club had several sports sections, and one of the founding ones was the volleyball section. In 1948, TKNB was renamed Sokol ZNB Bratislava. From that year, one men's team regularly participated in the Czechoslovak championships. It took third to fifth place in the competition and was the permanent champion of Slovakia. In the 1949/50 season, the team played under the banner of Štátna banka. Three years later, another name change came to DŠO ČH Bratislava. In the 1953/54 and 1959/60 seasons, ČH played in the first national league, but it never managed to stay in the competition. [2]

1990–present: Success in the league

In 1990, the name was changed to ŠKP Bratislava and in 1992 to VKP Bratislava, when new club statutes were approved. In 2012, the club merged with Spartak Myjava and created a team called Spartak VKP Myjava. [3] After a short hiatus in Komarno and Nitra, the club returned to Bratislava after nine years to restire the traditionally successful club. [2] Since the 2021/2022 season, the club has also expanded to include a women's team, making it the only Slovak volleyball club to have both a men's and a women's team in the extra league. [4] [5] In 2025, VKP Bratislava changed its name to VK Slovan Bratislava, also changing its logo. [6] [1] That same year, the club won its 13th title, beating Rieker UJS Komárno in all sets. [7] [8]
