They famously reached the lucrative group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2005–06 after wins over Kairat Almaty, Celtic and Partizan Belgrade.

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.

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, who were given a special entry into the first qualifying round of the 2005–06 event, and joined Artmedia in the group stage.

There was no regular football pitch in Pressburg at that time, so PTE used the plain terrain to play its home matches in the beginning years.

During the extra ordinary club meeting on 29 September 1899 the decision to build the regular pitch for PTE nearby to the Danube river, railway to the Wien and City Park was made.
