Adriatic derby


Adriatic derby is the name given to matches between two largest Croatian football clubs coming from the Adriatic coast, Hajduk Split and Rijeka. The teams are supported by their fanbases called Split's Torcida and Rijeka's Armada.
Games of note are the 1986–87 Yugoslav Cup final, when Hajduk won the cup, and the 2004–05 Croatian Football Cup final when Rijeka won the trophy. In the penultimate round of the 1998–99 Croatian First Football League season at Stadion Poljud, Rijeka won 3–1 and the entire stadium began to applaud the Rijeka footballers, including the Hajduk fans. This was unusual, especially for such big rivals. Another notable derby took place on 9 September 1962 in Rijeka. This game is noteworthy, or rather infamous, as numerous rocks collapsed off the cliff at Stadion Kantrida, in process injuring 96 supporters.
Due to various formats that were used in the Croatian championship and the cup competition format and in addition to the games played in the Supercup, there has been anywhere from two to seven derbies per season. For example, as many as 14 derbies were played between March 2005 and November 2006. Due to Rijeka's absence from the Yugoslav First League no games have been played between 1947 and 1958, and 1969 and 1974, with the exception of a cup game in 1971.
