Matej Šavol (born 14 April 1984) is a former Slovak football goalkeeper. He is most known for playing with MFK Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš.

Club career

He first became known when representing MFK Ružomberok's B team in the 2006–07 Slovak Cup, where they faced major team Spartak Trnava, and managed to eliminate them in a penalty shootout after Šavol saved all four Spartak penalties. In 2008, he transferred to Czech team FK SIAD Most.[1][2] He was the only Slovak player in a team of 8 different nationalities.[3]

In 2013, he came third in MFK Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš' Player of the Year ranking.[4]

In 2014, Šavol trained MFK Ružomberok, and was looking to be favoured ahead of Ján Malec.[1] He made his Slovak First Football League debut on loan at Ružomberok in a 2–1 defeat against ŠK Slovan Bratislava.[5] Following a one-year loan, his contract was extended.[6]

He was later on the technical staff of MFK Ružomberok.[7]
