Slovak ExtraLiga Nationality Breakdown

For the first twenty years of its existence, the Slovak ExtraLiga relied primarily on domestic players and import players from the neighboring Czechia to fill its team rosters. Combined, the share of Slovaks and Czechs typically exceeded 95% of league players. Starting in 2015, the league began to draw import players from North America and other European countries, and the proportion of Slovaks and Czechs has since then decreased to 70-75%.

The chart below shows the relative proportions of different nationalities in the Slovak ExtraLiga from the 1993-1994 season onwards. The data used in the chart can be found on the nationality totals pages.
