Eternal Derby ((クロアチア語:Vječni derbi)) also known as the Croatian Derby, ((クロアチア語:Hrvatski derbi)) is the name given to matches between the two biggest and most popular Croatian football clubs Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split. The rivalry can be traced back to 1920s when Zagreb's Građanski and Hajduk often clashed in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia championships. After World War II, Građanski was disbanded by the authorities, and Dinamo Zagreb was formed to take its place, retaining its colours. The two clubs soon became part of the "Big Four" of Yugoslav football (the other two being Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade from Serbia) ever since the Yugoslav championship was established in 1946 (both clubs spent their entire existence playing top-flight football). This lasted until 1991, when Croatia declared independence so clubs started competing in the Prva HNL, which saw its first season being played in 1992. Since 1992 Dinamo and Hajduk won 23 out of 24 Croatian championship titles, as well as 19 out of 24 Croatian Cups, which makes them by far the most successful and popular clubs in Croatia. Due to various formats that were used in the Croatian championship (which currently employs a four-round robin format) and the cup competition format (which has teams playing two-legged fixtures even in the final game) and in addition to the games played in the Supercup, there can be anywhere from four to seven derbies per season. As of September 2015, there have been 99 derbies played in total since the establishment of the Croatian championship in 1992, with Dinamo winning 45 and Hajduk 29 games, while 25 matches ended in a draw. In September 2009, British ''Daily Mail'' ranked the Eternal Croatian derby 20th among the 20 greatest football rivalries of all time.〔(THE LIST: The greatest rivalries in club football, Nos 20–11 )〕 ==Supporters== An important aspect of the Croatian derby are the fans. Both sides prepare intensely between the matches, make large flags and special messages that are appropriate for that particular occasion, to be usually directed towards the opposing side. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eternal derby (Croatia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
