text: # Montenegrin Derby
  
  The Montenegrin Derby (Montenegrin: Crnogorski derbi) is the main football match in Montenegro, between the teams from the two biggest Montenegrin cities. Rivals are FK Budućnost from Podgorica and FK Sutjeska from Nikšić, two most popular sports societies in Montenegro. The rivalry is present in football and basketball.
  
  Two clubs played their derbies in Montenegrin Championship, First League of SFR Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, and today, four times on one season, in Montenegrin First League.
  
  ## History
  
  FK Budućnost is founded at 1925, and FK Sutjeska at 1927. So, the two teams played their first matches before the Second World War. First matches in official competitions, Budućnost and Sutjeska played in the Montenegrin Football Championship (1922-1940). The first official game was played on 9 October 1932 in Nikšić, and Budućnost won 2–1. During the period before the Second World War, two teams played four official games - FK Budućnost under the name RSK Budućnost and FK Sutjeska under the name SK Hercegovac. The first derby after the War was held in April 1946, when the two clubs played matches in the Montenegrin Republic League, for promotion to the inaugural season of the Yugoslav First League. Until now, there were 107 official games between Budućnost and Sutjeska. As a match of main and strongest clubs from two biggest Montenegrin cities, the derby became popular among the citizens from the early history. Some of the highest attendances in Montenegrin football were recorded at the games of Montenegrin Derby. From the 1980s, both clubs have organised supporters groups, which gave to a Montenegrin Derby new and often a violent dimension.

  Buducnost fans are known as Varvari (Barbarians), a group founded in 1987. The group's traditional colours are blue and white, which are also the colours of all the Budućnost sports clubs. For FK Budućnost Podgorica home games, Varvari occupy the northern stand (Sjever) of the Podgorica city stadium. They also have a reserved stand at the Morača Sports Center, as supporters of KK Buducnost basketball club.
