Tvillingderbyt

[1] The first football match between them was played on 16 July 1899 at Svea Lifgardes IP and resulted in a 2–1 AIK win.

[1] The fixture between AIK and Djurgården is generally considered to be the most important derby in Sweden.

[citation needed] 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.

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 northwest and west part of the urban area, roughly along the blue line of the Metro.

(Both clubs also maintain a cross-town rivalry with Hammarby IF, whose stronghold is the Södermalm district, the southern part of the city centre.)
