Maltese football clubs in European competitions
This is a list of Maltese football clubs in European competitions. Maltese clubs have participated since 1961, when Hibernians entered the 1961–62 European Cup and Floriana entered the 1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup.
Active competitions
European Cup / UEFA Champions League
The competition was named European Cup until 1991–92, until it switched its name to UEFA Champions League.
PR = Preliminary round; 1R/2R = First/Second round; 1QR/2QR = First/Second qualifying round; QF = Quarter-finals
Note 1: No clubs entered the Champions League during these seasons as a result of restructuring by UEFA, with entry to the competition limited to the continent's top 24 countries. The league champions entered the UEFA Cup instead.
Note 2: Match originally postponed due to bad pitch conditions caused by heavy rain. FC Santa Coloma suggested an alternative on 30 June, but UEFA awarded Birkirkara a 3–0 away win on 1 July.[2]
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup / UEFA Cup / UEFA Europa League
While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (1955–1971) is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, it was not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA does not consider clubs' records in the Fairs Cup to be part of their European record.[3][4] The competition was named UEFA Cup from 1971–72 until 2008–09, than it switched name to UEFA Europa League.
PR = Preliminary round; QR = Qualifying round; 1R/2R = First/Second round; 1QR/2QR/3QR = First/Second/Third qualifying round
