The Northeastern derby ((スロベニア語:Severovzhodni derbi)) is a major football rivalry between Maribor and Mura. Today, the continuation of the rivalry is considered as the matches between Maribor and NŠ Mura, established in 2012, who consider themselves, together with the fans of the old Mura, as the spiritual continuation of the 2004 and 2013 dissolved clubs. Although the old Mura was officially dissolved at the end of 2004 it was still allowed to finish the 2004–05 season, which was at the time already in progress, and therefore the last official match between Maribor and the old Mura was played in 2005. The first official match between Maribor and newly established Mura 05 was played in 2008 in the Slovenian Cup. ==History and rivalry culture== The rivalry traced its roots back in the late 1960s and the time of SFR Yugoslavia when the first match between the two clubs was played. Although the first match was played in 1967 it was not until the independence of Slovenia from 1991 onwards when most of the matches were played. Before the establishment of the 1.SNL in 1991 both clubs have never played together in the top division and the rivalry became apparent only in the 1990s when both clubs were among the top teams of the newly established league. In 1991, after the declared independence of Slovenia, both clubs were the founding members of the Slovenian first league, 1.SNL, and played there up until the end of 2004–05 season and the dissolution of NK Mura.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Competitions )〕 Maribor comes from the city of Maribor, capital city of the Styria region, and was one of the most industrialized cities in Yugoslavia and the majority of its fans were the representatives of the working class. Mura on the other hand comes from a small, rural town of Murska Sobota which is the center of the poorest region in Slovenia, Prekmurje. Prekmurje was, for about a thousand years, part of the Kingdom of Hungary, unlike other Slovene Lands. It therefore maintains certain specific linguistic, cultural, and religious features that differentiate it from other Slovenian traditional regions. The Mura River, which runs on the border between Styria and Prekmurje, was therefore not just a natural barrier, but political as well. During the 1990s and early 2000s the two clubs were the most successful and popular teams in the eastern part of the country. Although Mura won only one Cup (1994–95) in its history they were nevertheless considered as a top Slovenian team, especially in the 1990s when they continuously finished the season among top teams either in the league, cup or supercup. Maribor on the other hand was much more successful as by the end of 2004–05 season they have won seven championships and five cups. During the first seven seasons of the 1.SNL both clubs finished on top three positions on 3 occasions and at least one of them finished on first or second position during this period. The rivalry reached its peak in 2003–04 season when Mura hosted Maribor at home in the final round of the season. Before the match Maribor was leading the table and was close in winning their 8th consecutive title while the mid table position of Mura was predetermined before the final round. However, Mura won the match 2–1 and Maribor eventually lost the title by two points. At the end of 2004 NK Mura was dissolved and, as the season was already in progress, was allowed to finish the rest of the 2004–05 season after which it effectively ceased all operations.〔〔 On 16 June 2005, a new club was established, under the name ND Mura 05, retaining Mura's fans, colours and youth team players. However, due to the fact that the new Mura is supported by most of the fans of the previous Mura, including their ultras group the Black Gringos, who has a long-standing rivalry with Maribor's own ultras group Viole Maribor, many see the matches between Maribor and the new club as the continuation of the rivalry. The first match between NK Maribor and ND Mura 05 took place in Murska Sobota on 17 September 2008, on a Slovenian cup (Round of 16) match that was won by Maribor, 3–1. Although Mura was, at the time, a second division team the stadium was packed with home and away fans. For the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons, Mura was a member of the Slovenian PrvaLiga. After the 2012–13 season, the club went into the financial difficulties again and was dissolved. The newly established club used its youth selections to register a team for the 2013–14 season under the name ''NŠ Mura''. Statistically, Maribor is the more successful club either in the case of matches only from the period from 1967 to 2005 or the whole period from 1967 to present day. 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「Northeastern derby (Slovenia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
