  • Burnley Football Club is an English professional association football club which has made two appearances in Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) competitions, one in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and seven in the Texaco Cup and its successor, the Anglo-Scottish Cup. The first competitive venture in international football came about as a result of Burnley's 1959–60 First Division title win. The team qualified for the 1960–61 European Cup where they eliminated French champions Stade de Reims in the first round before being sent out of the contest by West German champions Hamburger SV in the quarter-final. Burnley's following international campaign came six years later, in the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where they were again knocked out by a West German side in the quarter-final, this time by Eintracht Frankfurt. Burnley had to wait 51 years for their third appearance in an international football competition, when the team qualified for the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League; they were eliminated in the play-off round by Greek club Olympiacos. The team have also competed in minor international football tournaments in the 1970s and early 1980s. They participated twice in the Texaco Cup, a competition involving sides from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland that had not qualified for UEFA-sanctioned European competitions or the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Burnley reached the 1974 final but lost against Newcastle United after extra time. Burnley later competed in Anglo-Scottish Cup on five occasions and won the tournament in 1979, after they defeated Oldham Athletic 4–2 on aggregate. (en)
