# Ferencvárosi TC–Újpest FC rivalry

The fixture between Ferencvárosi TC and Újpest FC is a local derby in Budapest, Hungary and is argaubly the most fierce rivalry in the country, and one of the most fierce in Eastern Europe. It is usually referred to as The Derbi, deriving from the English word Derby. It was first contested in 1905, and was given the name it is known as today in March 1930, after the clash of Ferencváros and Újpest was referred to as Derbi, highlighting the ferocity of the match-up, which ended 1-1.
Initially less important than the Örökrangadó, The Derbi surpassed the prominence of Ferencváros and MTK's clash during the 1940s, and 1950s, due to MTK disbanding for a brief period of time, and Újpest growing up to become a worthy challenger of Ferencváros, as they won eight national titles between 1930 and 1947.
Arguably the most prestigious rivalry in the country, the two clubs are the most popular clubs in the country and two of the most successful ones. Ferencváros are the most decorated club in Hungary, having won a record 36 national championships, winning every single leaguetitle since the 2018/19 season. Újpest are 20-time champions of Hungary, coming in third behind MTK and Ferencváros in terms of all-time leaguetitles won, however, have been unable to claim a national championship since 1998.
The clubs have met 243 times in the top-flight, Ferencváros won 119, while Újpest won 61.
Both clubs are named after the areas in the city they play in, Ferencváros play in the 9th district Ferencváros just south of the city centre. Újpest play in the 4th district of Újpest to the north of the city. Traditionally MTK were Ferencváros main rival with both clubs dominating early Hungarian football. Once Újpest turned professional in the mid-1920s they became a successful side (totally dominating the league in the 1930s and 1970s).
On the day of the match police have to defend the public from the aggressive supporters of the two clubs. Therefore, the Line 3 of the Budapest Metro is controlled by the police and special carriages are provided before and after the match. The purple-white supporters of the Újpest FC get on at the Újpest–Központ metro station which is the closest metro station to the Szusza Ferenc Stadium. They get off at the Népliget metro station which is next to the Albert Stadion. The journey usually ends in fights and vandalism, either clashing with fans of Ferencváros and/or the police.

Ferencváros failed to beat Debreceni VSC, and had to settle for the runners-up spot for the second year running, 2 points off of MTK. Fans of both clubs invaded their respective fields, for different reasons. Even before the final ehistle was blown, fans of Újpest erupted with joy upon learning of the FTC-DVSC score, and invaded the pitch in celebration of MTK's title, ahead of the green and whites. Ferencváros' fans decided to imvade the pitch of Flórián Albert stadium out of fury, that the trophy had slipped from their hands despite finishing 1st in the regular season, right to their (arguably) second biggest rivals, MTK. FTC were later given a fine by the MLSZ for their fans' actions. Újpest achieved a 4th-place finish.

In April 2006 the two teams contested one of the most violent Budapest derbies on Easter Day. The game featured 7 yellow cards, and 3 red cards, two of which were instant. Ferencváros took the lead early on through a Lipcsei penalty, and held on to their lead until the 93rd minute. Zoltán Kovács equalised for 10-man Újpest before Péter Rajczi converted a penalty, winning the game for Újpest in shocking fashion in the 96th minute. After the game ended, a brawl ensued between the two sets of players.
In spite of winning both derbies of the season, Újpest "bottled" the title on the last day of the season, losing 1–3 to Fehérvár, despite leading 1-0 until the 69th minute.

Therefore, the Line 3 of the Budapest Metro is controlled by the police and special carriages are provided before and after the match. The purple-white supporters of the Újpest FC get on at the Újpest–Központ metro station which is the closest metro station to the Szusza Ferenc Stadium.

## Hooliganism

In May 1998, Ferencváros hosted Újpest for a derby. There was violence and fights both preceding and after the game. Before the match, fans of Ferencváros, who had been waiting for Újpest, threw a rain of rocks at the arriving purple and white fanatics. After the game, fans of both teams threw beer cans and rocks at the policemen present. 11 fans were detained afterwards.
Prior to the April 1999 meeting of the two clubs, fans of Ferencváros clashed with the police at Népliget, hurling rocks and steel chairs at them. The police were forced to resort to using horses and teargas to disperse the crowd. The arriving Újpest fans received a similar treatment, who also threw rocks at each other with the Fradi ultras.
In September 2010 Újpest shut Ferencváros out 6–0 at Megyeri Road, their highest ever margin of victory against the green and whites. Fans of Ferencváros were angered by their team's performance and ripped seats off of their places, and started throwing them onto the field of play. After Ferencváros conceded the fifth goal, all hell broke loose in the away sector. The riot police were called in, who had to form a wall in order to prevent any Ferencváros ultras from entering the pitch; regardless, a large number of them still attempted to do so. Referee Solymosi made the decision to interrupt the game, which was stopped for ten minutes, while the police were handling the situation.
In the 2012–13 season Ferencváros hosted Újpest. Before the match there was a big fight between the Újpest supporters and the police at the Újpest–Központ. The cataclyst of the fight was fans of Újpest hurling beer cans and road signs at the police. Újpest fans were taken by a tram selected for this specific occasion. Upon their arrival at Üllői Road, which was led by then mayor Zsolt Wintermantel, they exchanged sets of rocks with Ferencváros fans. 2 Újpest fans were taken to the 9th districtian police station, one of them for attempting to enter the Flórián Albert Stadium with a knife.
In the 2013–14 season, after the derby the police had to use tear gas to dissipate the Újpest fans at the Szusza ferenc Stadium.

## Similarity

The rivalry between Ferencváros and Újpest is very similar to the rivalry between SK Rapid Wien and FK Austria Wien. Both Ferencváros and Rapid Wien use the green-white colors, while both Újpest and Austria Wien use the purple-white colors.

## Fans

Besides the district of Ferencváros Ferencvárosi TC have a large fan base in the countryside, while the fans of Újpest FC are mainly based in the fourth district of Budapest that is Újpest and other parts of Budapest as well. Ferencváros have the most fans in the country, with an estimated 2 million people supporting them, scattered all over the country, and including from areas outside of Hungary with a large Hungarian population, such as Felvidék, Délvidék, and Erdély. Naturally, a lot of Ferencváros fans come from the eponymous district of Budapest, but FTC tends to be the most popular team in other districts as well, even surpassing the popularity of the local teams of the districts. This is the case in Csepel, Rákosfalva, and Zugló. They are also the most popular team in almost all cities in Hungary, (even in Cities which have local teams) with the exception of Miskolc, Debrecen, Fehérvár, and Győr. Their ultra group, known as Green Monsters, were founded in 1995, and have gained notoriety for their violence, and willingness to cause chaos. They were especially feared in the early 2000s, when away fans rarely turned up in big numbers at Üllői Út. The club's image is extremely political, as it was founded by Christian swabians living in Hungary, and is associated with that of the Hungarian far-right.
Újpest are the second most supported team in the country, and have the majority of their fanbase in the 4th district. A lot of Újpest fans can be found in the neighbouring districts, such as Óbuda, and Újpalota. Just like it is the case with their green counterparts, Újpest have a lot of fans outside of Budapest, and in provincial cities, such as Szombathely and Karczag. Their ultra group is known as Viola Fidelity, which came to existence in 2002. Fidelity was preceded by (and as such, built upon the foundations of) Újpest Ultras, founded in 1992. Since the 1990s, Újpest fans have gained a reputation for being far-right as well.
