Super Match

The Super Match (Korean: 슈퍼매치) is a name for a football rivalry between two South Korean football teams from the Seoul Capital Area, FC Seoul and Suwon Samsung Bluewings.

In 1996, neighboring Gyeonggi cities of Anyang and Suwon started hosting K League clubs.

For Suwon in early days, main rivals were Ulsan Hyundai and Pusan Daewoo which had fierce showdowns in the league finals in 1996 and 1997.

The match up was informally named Jijidae Derby in 2003, after a hill on the National Route 1 connecting two cities.
