History
The Stockholm sports clubs AIK and Djurgårdens IF were both founded in 1891 as general sports clubs. AIK was founded the 15th of February 1891 in the city centre of Stockholm on Biblioteksgatan 8. Djurgårdens IF was founded the 12th of March on the eastern island Djurgården in Stockholm.
AIK started playing football in 1896, while Djurgårdens IF Fotboll started in 1899. the first football match between them was played on 16 July 1899 at Svea Lifgardes IP and resulted in a 2–1 AIK win.
When Jesper Jansson left AIK for Djurgården before the 1996 season, he was threatened and the door of his apartment was vandalised by Firman Boys, a group connected to AIK. When former AIK player Anders Limpar signed for Djurgården in 2000, his restaurant in Stockholm was vandalised by the same group.
An attendance of 45,367 people watched a 2019 match, breaking an earlier record from 1975. The May 2023 match was interrupted after supporters on the AIK section had thrown flares onto the pitch. Chat messages showed that the action was planned by people on the section in the case of a possible AIK loss.
Rivalry culture The fixture between AIK and Djurgården is generally considered to be the most important derby in Sweden. The clubs are among Stockholm’s most successful teams, with AIK having won twelve Swedish championship titles and eight Svenska Cupen titles, while Djurgården has won twelve national titles and five cup titles.
Both clubs were founded in 1891, just three weeks apart. Therefore, the derby is known as the Tvillingderbyt (). This fixture is considered the fiercest rivalry in Scandinavia. Since 1891, 231 fixtures have been contested in all competitions with 87 AIK wins and 82 Djurgården wins.

AIK has a strong concentration of fans in the northern and western part of the Stockholm urban area, roughly Line (Stockholm Metro)|Blue Line]] and western-going Green 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.
The AIK–Djurgården rivalry is also found in ice hockey which further strengthens the tension between both sets of fans and makes the rivalry somewhat unique for Swedish sports. They are the only two clubs in Sweden who have won more than one championship in both football and ice hockey – AIK have won twelve football titles and seven ice hockey titles; Djurgården have won twelve in football and 16 in ice hockey.
