The Eternal derby (Romanian: Eternul derbi), also called the Romanian derby (Romanian: Derbiul României) or the Great derby (Romanian: Marele derbi), is a football match between Bucharest rivals Steaua București and Dinamo București, the two most successful clubs in Romania.
The two clubs have played each other over 150 times, beginning with Dinamo's 1-0 victory on November 21, 1948. The events are regularly marred by instances of hooliganism and frequent outbreaks of violence between rival fan groups.
The two teams are notable for their collective dominance of Romanian football. Between them, Steaua (26 times) and Dinamo (18 times) have won the Romanian football championship 44 times out of 97 completed seasons, resulting in a percentage of 45.36%. This supremacy extends also to the Cupa României (22 times for Steaua and 13 times for Dinamo) and the Supercupa României (6 times for Steaua and 2 times for Dinamo).
They are also the two Romanian football teams with the best results in club competitions organised by UEFA. Steaua won the European Cup in 1986, was runner-up in the same competition in 1989 after reaching the semi-finals in 1988. In 2006, Steaua reached the semi-finals of UEFA Cup. Meanwhile, Dinamo reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in 1984 and in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. Additionally, Steaua won the UEFA Super Cup in 1986 and was defeated in the Intercontinental Cup by River Plate the same year.
