Aberdeen F.C. is a Scottish professional football club based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Aberdeen's first participation in European competition was in the 1967–68 season, when they competed in the European Cup Winners' Cup.
As champions of Scotland, the club should have been invited to participate in the inaugural European Champions' Cup in 1955, but were controversially overlooked with the competition slot being instead awarded to fifth-placed Hibernian FC.
The club has competed in Europe in 36 seasons since 1967, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 and the European Super Cup in the same year, a Scottish record for European trophy wins.
Willie Miller holds the record for European appearances for Aberdeen, making 61 appearances between 1973 and 1989. The club's top scorer in Europe is Mark McGhee, with 14 goals. Aberdeen's record win in Europe is 10–0, which came in their first-ever European match against KR Reykjavík of Iceland in 1967.
