Last year's winners of the Maltese Cup, Birkirkara entered the UEFA Cup at the First Qualification Round. Just like fellow Malta side Marsaxlokk, Birkirkara lost to a Croation side, falling 7-0 in its tie with Hajduk Split. Hajduk Split lost 2-0 aggregate in the next round to Deportivo of Spain, which has a solid chance of advancing to the UEFA Cup knockout stage.
Birkirkara is making another run at the UEFA Cup - or Champions League - this year. The team, which features three players on the Malta national team, is currently second in the league standings and is in the quarterfinals of the Maltese Cup.
