Trivia
Slavia have participated in the qualifiers for the UEFA Champions League six times (1996, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007). They had been eliminated five times until finally qualifying for the group stage in the 2007/2008 season. In the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 they were eliminated again, by ACF Fiorentina (0-2 on aggregate) and Sheriff Tiraspol (1-1 on away goals rule), respectively.
Football Club Vojvodina (Serbia), one of the oldest Serbian premier league clubs, was founded in 1914 by former students of Prague University. They brought a complete set of Slavia jerseys from Prague. Since then, Vojvodina uses jerseys that share the same design as Slavia's jerseys.
Oddly enough the first foreign player to sign with Slavia was Serbian striker Dragiša Binić who transferred to the club from Red Star in 1991.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
