The Derbiul Bucureștiului (English: Bucharest derby), also known as Derbi de București and Big Bucharest derby is the football local derby in Bucharest, Romania, between FCSB and FC Rapid București. It is considered one of the fiercest intra-city derbies in the country, alongside other major local derbies, Cluj derby and Eternal derby, one of the greatest and hotly contested derbies in Europe.

History

The two clubs have played each other over 130 times, beginning with Rapid's 1–0 victory on November 4, 1947 (at the time Rapid was named "CFR", and Steaua "ASA București"). Several matches throughout the years between Steaua and Rapid have ended in serious clashes between fans.^[1]

The two teams are notable for their dominance of Romanian football, alongside Dinamo. Even though Rapid only won 3 Romanian football championships to Steaua/FCSB's 27, they both dominate the Romanian Cup (23 times for Steaua/FCSB and 13 times for Rapid) and the Romanian Supercup (7 times for Steaua/FCSB and 4 times for Rapid).

They also have great performances in club competitions organised by UEFA among other Romanian football team. 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 and Rapid faced one another in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, Steaua winning over two legs on the away goals rule. Moreover, Steaua won the UEFA Super Cup in 1986 and was defeated in the Intercontinental Cup by River Plate the same year. On the other hand, Rapid won the Balkans Cup 2 times in a row in 1964 and 1966 and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1973. The rivalry also extends to other sports.
