Hibernian Football Club ("Hibs") is a Scottish football club, based in the Leith area of Edinburgh. Hibernian were the first ever British club to enter an official European footballing competition, doing so in the inaugural 1955–56 season of the European Cup. They were also the first Scottish club to participate in the Fairs Cup, an unofficial forerunner of the UEFA Cup and Europa League competitions.
Hibernian reached the semi-final stage in the European Cup (1955–56) and the Fairs Cup (1960–61). They participated in European competition during the 1960s and 1970s on an almost annual basis, competing with many of the major club sides during this period. During this time, Hibernian recorded notable victories against Barcelona (1960–61), Napoli (1967–68) and Sporting Lisbon (1972–73). Since the late 1970s, Hibernian have qualified for European competition much less frequently. During the 2000s they appeared three times in the Intertoto Cup, a summer competition that offered qualification for the UEFA Cup. The club most recently participated in the 2023–24 Europa Conference League qualifying rounds and reached the play-offs where they were defeated by Aston Villa.
