The Montenegrin Derby (Montenegrin:Crnogorski derbi) is the main football match in Montenegro, between the teams from the two biggest Montenegrin cities. Rivals are FK Budućnost from Podgorica and FK Sutjeska from Nikšić, two most popular sports societies in Montenegro. The rivalry is present in football and basketball.
Two clubs played their derbies in Montenegrin Championship, First League of SFR Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, and today, for three times in the season, in Montenegrin First League.
FK Budućnost is founded at 1925, and FK Sutjeska at 1927. So, two teams played their matches before Second World Was. First matches in official competitions, Budućnost and Sutjeska played in Montenegrin Football Championship (1922-1940). First game was played on 09 October 1932 in Nikšić, and Budućnost won 2-1. In period before Second World War, two teams played four official games - FK Budućnost under the name RSK Budućnost and FK Sutjeska under the name SK Hercegovac.
First derby after the War was held on April 1946, when the two clubs played matches in Montenegrin Republic League, for promotion to the inaugural season of the Yugoslav First League. Until now, there was 89 official games between Budućnost and Sutjeska.
As a match of main and strongest clubs from two biggest Montenegrin cities, derby became popular among the citizens from the early history. Some of the highest attendance in Montenegrin football were recorded at the games of Montenegrin Derby. From the 80's, both clubs have organised supporters groups, which gave to a Montenegrin Derby new and often a violent dimension.
