# Derby of Jordan

Derby of Jordan (Arabic: ديربي الأردن) refers to the football derbies between the professional Jordanian clubs Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat from the capital Amman. Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat are the most successful clubs in the history of the Jordanian league, both teams serve as the main recruiting pools for Jordan national team.

## Background

Matches between the rival teams have a long history of violence, mirroring the divisions between the country's Palestinians and native East Bankers, mostly tribes who inhabited the East Bank of the Jordan River before the 1948 Palestinian exodus of after the creation of Israel in 1948.
The most serious incident occurred in December 2010 when Al-Wehdat defeated Al-Faisaly 1–0 at the final whistle with Faisaly fans throwing stones over the stands while leaving the stadium, Wehdat fans trying to escape the ground desperately were mistaken for an out-of-control hooligan crowd by police, and clashes occurred. The fans eventually broke down the fence separating the stands from the pitch, then broke free. It is sometimes thought to be a racist rivalry with much sectarian hatred between Jordanians and Palestinians in Jordan. 250 supporters were injured in supporter related violence when the Palestinian supported Wehdat played against Al-Faisaly, supported by Jordanians.
The matches between the two teams have had supporters chanting slogans from the Black September in Jordan civil war, the war between the Jordanian state and the Palestinian resistance movement, in 1970. Jordanian Palestinians subdued their nationalist slogans at the stadiums.
