Tvillingderbyt (, "The Twin Derby") is a football fixture in Stockholm, Sweden, between cross-town rivals AIK Stockholm and Djurgårdens IF. Both clubs were founded in Stockholm in 1891, AIK was first with Djurgårdens IF following three weeks later, but they started playing football in 1896 (AIK) and 1899 (Djurgårdens IF) respectively.

History

AIK started playing football in 1896, while Djurgårdens IF Fotboll started in 1899. The first football match between them was played on 16 July 1899 at Svea Lifgardes IP and resulted in a 2–1 AIK win.

Rivalry culture
The fixture between AIK and Djurgården is generally considered to be the most important derby in Sweden. It's a true archrivalry between Stockholm's two most successful clubs, with AIK having won a total of 12 Swedish Championships and 8 Swedish cups, while Djurgården has 12 titles and 5 Cups.

Both clubs were founded in 1891, just three weeks apart. Therefore, the derby is known as the Tvillingderbyt (The Twin derby). This fixture is listed among the fiercest derbies in the world. Since 1891, 231 fixtures have been contested in all competitions with 87 AIK wins and 82 Djurgården wins.

Both clubs have a large number of fans throughout Stockholm. There is somewhat of a geographical divide; Djurgården consider the affluent Östermalm district, the eastern part of Stockholm City Centre, their heartland, while AIK has a strong concentration of fans in the north, west and the centre of the city, roughly along the blue line of the Metro and stretching north in the Stockholm urban area. (Both clubs also maintain a cross-town rivalry with Hammarby IF, whose stronghold is the Södermalm district, the southern part of the city centre.)

The AIK-Djurgården rivalry is also found in ice hockey which further strengthens the tension between both sets of fans and makes the rivalry somewhat unique for Swedish sports. They are the only two clubs in Sweden who have won more than one championship in both football and ice hockey. (AIK have won 12 in football and 7 in ice hockey; Djurgården have won 12 in Football and 16 in ice hockey.)
