The Shanghai derby (Chinese: 上海德比; pinyin: Shànghǎi Débǐ) is a name given to a football derby contested by any two teams in the city of Shanghai, China. The term specifically refers to individual matches between the teams, but can also be used to describe the general rivalry between the different clubs.[1][2][3][4][5] Shanghai Shenhua against Shanghai COSCO Huili (2002–2005) and Shanghai Shenhua against Shanghai Port are ranked as two of the most ferocious Shanghai Derbies.
