'''FC Artmedia Petržalka''', also known as '''FC Artmedia Bratislava''', is a [[Slovakia|Slovak]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club from the [[Petržalka]] district of the capital, [[Bratislava]].
==2005-06 European campaign==
They famously reached the lucrative group stages of the [[UEFA Champions League]] in [[UEFA Champions League 2005-06|2005-06]] after wins over [[FC Kairat Almaty|Kairat Almaty]], [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] and [[FK Partizan|Partizan Belgrade]]. They beat Almaty 4-3 on aggregate in the 1st qualifying round despite a 2-0 defeat in the first leg. However it was on [[27 July]] [[2005]] that they made their mark on the tournament, producing one of the shock results of Champions League history as they beat [[2003]] [[UEFA Cup]] finalists and [[1967]] [[European Cup]] winners [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] 5-0 in the first leg of their Champions League 2nd qualifying round match. The stunned Celtic side could not quite recover, only managing to win the return leg 4-0, and Artmedia held on to progress in the tournament. On [[23 August]] 2005 they clinched a place in the group stages after overcoming [[Serbia]]n power Partizan Belgrade 4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 aggregate scoreline thus becoming the second Slovak club after [[MFK Košice|1. FC Košice]] [[1997]]-[[1998|98]] to reach the coveted Champions League proper. Their success was even more remarkable considering Artmedia's entire annual budget is just over £1m.

Artmedia also made history by becoming one of the first two clubs ever to advance from the first qualifying round into the Champions League group stage. The other club to do so was 2004-05 winners [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], who were given a special entry into the first qualifying round of the 2005-06 event, and joined Artmedia in the group stage.

Artmedia played their Champions League fixtures at the [[Tehelné pole]] ground of crosstown rivals [[Slovan Bratislava]] because their own ground does not meet UEFA standards for Champions League play.
On [[28 September]] 2005, Artmedia made history once again by becoming the first Slovak side to collect a point in the Champions League group stage (in the eighth attempt by a Slovak side to do so). In another famous upset, they came back from a 2-0 first-half deficit to defeat [[2004]] Champions League winners [[Futebol Clube do Porto|Porto]] 3-2 at [[Estádio do Dragão|Porto's home ground]].
Eventually, they finished third in the group, parachuting them into the [[UEFA Cup 2005-06|UEFA Cup]], but not before missing a late chance to score a goal in the return fixture against Porto that would have sent them to the round of 16 at [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers']] expense.
In December 2005 the goalkepper [[Juraj Čobej]] underwent a complicated brain surgery attempting to remove a malign tumor. Fortunately, he has fully recovered and has already stood a firm ground in goal during the first rounds of the 2006-07 season.
Artmedia lost the home leg of their UEFA Cup round of 32 tie with [[PFC Levski Sofia|Levski Sofia]] 1-0 and were knocked out of the tournament after an away defeat of 2-0.
After the successful season the coach [[Vladimír Weiss]] left to [[FC Saturn Ramenskoe]]. [http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind=2/newsId=395059.html] Several players left the club as well ([[Ján Ďurica]] to FC Saturn Ramonskoe, [[Balázs Borbély]] to [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]], [[Blažej Vaščák]] to [[Treviso F.B.C.]]).

==Stadium==
Artmedia plays their home matches at [[Petržalka Stadion]]. The pitch at the place of the stadium has been there for more than a hundred years. Even before [[World War II]], the stadium was the venue of several international matches. Although destroyed during the war, new stands soon arose from the ruins of the old one and the stadium started to resemble its current look. Major changes have occurred in the last ten years, following improvements in Artmedia's footballing results. Stands behind goals were totally reconstructed and a ones were built along the pitch.
Today's estimated capacity is 10,000; however, it is impossible to give the exact value, because the older part of the stadium still remains for standing visitors. The average attendance of league matches at this stadium is somewhere above 4,000, one of the highest in Slovakia. However, the stadium does not meet some of the UEFA criteria, therefore the club has been forced to play its international matches elsewhere. Notably, they played their 2005-06 UEFA Champions League campaign at [[Tehelné pole]], home venue of crosstown rivals [[Slovan Bratislava]].
