📄 Summary
Slovenia national football team Emblem
The Slovenia national football team (Slovene: Slovenska nogometna reprezentanca) represents Slovenia in men's international football and is controlled by the Football Association of Slovenia, the governing body for football in Slovenia. The national squad is under the global jurisdiction of FIFA and is governed in Europe by UEFA. It competes in the three major professional tournaments available to European nations: the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Nations League and the UEFA European Championship. Slovenia played its first official match in 1992, one year after the country gained independence from Yugoslavia. The majority of Slovenia's home matches are played at Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana.

Slovenia have qualified for a major tournament four times, twice for the FIFA World Cup and twice for the UEFA European Championship. They failed to progress from the group stage of these tournaments in their first three appearances, before finally doing so at UEFA Euro 2024, when Slovenia qualified for the knockout stages by drawing all three group stage matches and being one of the best third-place teams. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Slovenia achieved their first (and so far only) victory in a major tournament, defeating Algeria 1–0. Other noteworthy results include a 1–0 win over Italy in 2004, which was Italy's only defeat in the entire 2006 World Cup campaign (qualifiers and the final tournament).

Boštjan Cesar holds the record for most appearances for Slovenia, having played 101 times between 2003 and 2018. Zlatko Zahovič scored 35 goals for Slovenia and is the record holder for most goals scored.

National football team squads registered (2022-present)

Players who have participated in major tournaments (FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, CONMEBOL Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup, CAF Africa Cup of Nations, AFC Asian Cup) are continuously registered on a yearly basis to preserve their place in history. These are the tournaments that qualify as major competitions.

The historical rosters of national teams are compiled based on participation in these major tournaments, with the aim of documenting and preserving the achievements and contributions of these players. This approach ensures that the names of players who represented significant moments in each country's football history are continuously remembered.

This system focuses on the most important and competitive international tournaments, rather than friendly matches or smaller competitions. By doing so, it accurately reflects each nation's top players and their accomplishments.

Cap (sport)

In sport, a cap is a player's appearance in a game at international level. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap to every player in an international match of rugby football and association football. In the early days of football, the concept of each team wearing a set of matching shirts had not been universally adopted, so each side would distinguish itself from the other by wearing a specific sort of cap.
