Wikipedia - 2. Liga (Slovakia)
The Slovak Second Football League (Slovak: 2. slovenská futbalová liga), officially known as MONACObet LIGA for sponsorship reasons, is the annual second tier football competition in Slovakia. Currently, the competition consists of 16 teams.
Each season, the first-placed team in the 2. Liga is automatically promoted to the First League, subject to meeting league requirements. The team that finishes in second place enters a two-legged play-off against the second-to-last placed team from the First League, with the winner taking their place in the following season's First League. The two lowest-finishing teams in the 2. Liga are relegated to the 3. Liga.
History
The league was formed as a second-tier league in Czechoslovakia. Before the dissolution of Czechoslovakia it consisted of 16 teams. Upon dissolution, six teams were promoted to the then newly formed Slovak First League. The league was expanded to 18 teams in 1996/97 season, but returned back to 16 in 2001/02 and reduced to 12 in 2006–07. The number of teams expanded to 16 from the 2017–18 season.
In June 2014 the league signed a two-year sponsorship agreement with a gambling firm, taking the name of DOXXbet liga as part of the deal.
In February 2024, the league was renamed as MONACObet LIGA as a part of a two-and-half year partnership deal with an option to extend. The deal included a further undisclosed club grant worth over €1 million, allegedly exceeding any previous partnerships.
