Cultural rivalry

Шаблон:Location map+ The clubs have large support bases around Baku, but also have supporters clubs in most towns throughout Azerbaijan. The relationship between the two clubs has always been known for its great animosity, as the classic opposes two geographic regions - with Neftchi and Khazar Lankaran representing the north and south of Azerbaijan, respectively.[3][4][5]

Football rivalry

The first game played between the two sides was an Azerbaijan Premier League fixture on Wednesday, 8 December 2004. The game, staged at Lankaran City stadium, finished 1–1 draw.[6] Both clubs compete each other for the title of the most successful football club in the country.

The Great Game Marathon

In 2011, the derby reached its ultimate peak as both clubs had to play each other 4 times during 33 days, after Azerbaijan Cup draws and Azerbaijan Premier League format changes.[7][8] Khazar once became triumphant over Neftchi, even though all other remaining games ended in draw.[9]

Unbeaten series of Khazar Lankaran

Current issues

The rivalry intensified in 2013 due to the final of the Azerbaijan Cup.[11] Several accusations of unsportsmanlike behaviour from both teams and a war of words erupted throughout the fixtures which included post-match fight between fans and players.[12][13]

Supporters rivalry
