Birkirkara Ultras 1997 - Zagreb Section in the newsBirkirkara Ultras 1997 - Zagreb Section was reported both in the Croation and Maltese media. Below is the article as it appeared on the Croation website www.24sata.hr "Birkirkara je do susreta s Hajdukom bila prakticki nepoznat klub u Hrvatskoj. Malteškog prvenstva cak ni nema u ponudi u kladionicama, no vjerovali ili ne, u Zagrebu postoje navijaci Birkirkare. Štoviše, nisu to "maskirani" purgeri koji su za Birkirkaru poceli navijati prigodno, zato što im je rival Hajduk, nego je rijec o Maltežanima nastanjenim u Zagrebu, koji su i prije dvoboja s Hajdukom podržavali klub sa svog otoka. Više o zagrebackoj frakciji Ultrasa Birkirkare možete saznati ovdje: http://www.birkirkaraultras.org/ZagrebSection.asp " 
Following is a rough translation to English: "Birkirkara was virtually unkown in Croatia untill the match against Hajduk. Neither was the Maltese league nor their transfer market, but believe it or not, Birkirkara have supporters in Zagreb. Moreover, they aren´t the Bad Blue Boys who started to support Birkirkara just because Hajduk is their rival, but this is about Maltese living in Zagreb and who have always supported their team. More on the Zagreb section of the Birkirkara Ultras can be found here: http://www.birkirkaraultras.org/ZagrebSection.asp " This in turn was reported by the Maltese newspaper L-orrizont, 29 ta' Lulju, 2008 (pg 31). Jiskopru b'supporters' club ta' Birkirkara f'Zagreb Wara li hmistax ilu Birkirkara laghbu kontra Hajduk Split fl-ewwel leg ta' l-ewwel rawnd ta' kwalifijazzjoni tat-Tazza fil-Kroazja, fil-belt ta' Zagreb gie skopert li jezizti klabb tal-partitarji ta' l-istripes ovvjament kompost minn Maltin li jghixu f'dan il-pajjiz. Din l-ahbar inghatat prominenza kbira fil-gurnali u siti elettronici sportivi fil Kroazja. Qabel Birkirkara marru l-Kroazja, ftit li xejn kien maghruf dwar il-fubol Malti tant li qatt qabel ma semghu bil-klabb Karkariz u l-futbol Malti ma jkun segwit imkien fil-pajjiz. Izda wara gimgha l-interess f'Birkirkara baqa' ma ghebx u hekk kif Hajduk Split se jigu f'pajjizna biex nhar il-Hamis jilghabu it-tieni leg mill-ewwel rawnd ta' kwalifikazzjoni tat-Tazza UEFA. U ghalkemm il-Kroazja mhux pajjiz favorit mal-Maltin biex imorru jghixu fih, gie skopert li hemm grupp ta' Maltin li jghixu f'Zagreb li jissaportjaw propju lil Birkirkara.
