Suramadu derby or East Java Brotherhood derby is the name given in football rivalries to any match between two Indonesian football clubs Persebaya Surabaya and Madura United in Super League, the name of this derby is taken from the Suramadu Bridge which is the dividing bridge between the two teams. The fierce competition between both teams began in 2018 when Persebaya Surabaya and Madura United were grouped together in the 2018 Indonesia President's Cup.
History Suramadu derby had already emerged before the match was held. In mid-April 2017, it was reported that both teams would play a trial match, but it was canceled. The poster was spread on social media with the words "Suramadu derby" as the title. The public of Surabaya and Madura were excited, so this term was attached.
This term could be a breakthrough for clubs who want to describe a fierce duel with other clubs. A special term must be given to make it easier for the public to carelessly call the meeting of all East Java clubs the East Java derby. It is also called the "East Java Brotherhood derby", because the two clubs and their supporters are not involved in clashes and their relationship is friendly.
The first meeting between the two teams took place on 28 January 2018 at the Indonesia President's Cup pre-season tournament.
