The club play their home matches at the Stadion in Malmö; for UEFA matches, the capacity is 21,000 all-seated while for Swedish league matches 3,000 of these seats are removed to create standing room for 6,000 spectators.[1] Malmö's 11–0 victory over Pezoporikos Larnaca of Cyprus in the 1973–74 European Cup Winners' Cup is the club's most decisive win in European competitions, while the team's heaviest defeat is 8–0 (the largest defeat ever recorded in the Champions League group stage), against Spanish club Real Madrid in the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League. With 53 caps, Jan Möller has appeared in the most UEFA matches for Malmö, while Markus Rosenberg have scored the most goals with 23.[2] Malmö FF's most successful European campaign culminated in the club's contesting of the 1979 European Cup final against Nottingham Forest at the Olympic Stadium in Munich; Malmö lost 1–0. As of the 2018–19 season, the club is ranked 66th in the UEFA club coefficient.[2]

Overall record

A dramatic action shot from an association football game. A goalkeeper in dark colours forlornly dives to the ground as a tall, lanky forward in a light shirt and white shorts takes the ball around him, controlling it with the outside of his right foot.

European Champion Clubs' Cup / UEFA Champions League

The European Champion Clubs' Cup was founded in 1955 and was renamed the UEFA Champions League in 1992.[40] Malmö FF first entered the competition in 1964–65, qualifying by virtue of their position at the top of the Allsvenskan table midway through the 1964 season. As Allsvenskan is played between April and October of each year, out of step with most European leagues, modern practice sees each season's Allsvenskan champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League competition starting in August the following year. Malmö FF's most notable achievement in this competition, and in all European tournaments, is reaching the final at the end of the 1978–79 season. In the 2014–15 season the side passed the qualifying rounds for the first time since the competition was re–branded. The following is a complete list of matches played by Malmö FF in the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League; it includes the season of the tournament, the stage, the opponent club and its country, the date, the venue and the score. It is up to date as of the 2025–26 season.
