The rivalry between Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF is one of the most intense in Swedish football, especially in Stockholm, where both clubs have strong fan bases and a long tradition. This rivalry is not just about matches on the pitch – it also permeates the city, the culture, and the identity of the fans. Derby name: "Battle of Stockholm", "Social class derby". "Battle of Stockholm" got its name because both share the same arena (3 Arena) and both teams are still from Stockholm city. AIK, which is the 3rd big club in the Stockholm area, was founded in Stockholm Norrmalm but has moved to Solna. Solna is a municipality in Stockholm where they have their homeground Strawberry Arena therefore the name "Battle of Stockholm" because there is only 2 team left in the city centre. "Social class derby" The name comes from the time when the clubs' supporters had a strong identity about which social class they belonged to. Djurgården's supporters identified themselves with the upper class while Hammarby identified themselves with the working class. There is a certain social aspect in the Hammarby - Djurgården rivalry. Hammarby consider the formerly working-class neighbourhood of Södermalm, where their former home ground Söderstadion is situated, their stronghold. Djurgården count Östermalm, an affluent neighbourhood that forms the eastern part of the city centre, and where their former home ground Stadion is situated, as their stronghold. (Both clubs also maintain a cross-town rivalry with AIK, whose stronghold is the northwestern Stockholm urban area, where their home ground is situated.)

Djurgården's identity has a tradition of pride, "class", and historical weight. Djurgården is one of Sweden's most successful clubs in terms of sport, which is reflected in a winning mentality among the fans. There is a lot of focus on tradition and the club's rich history. Fan culture: Stylish but powerful. Often focuses on well-coordinated tifos and strong chants. A certain "elitist" feeling is sometimes present - not in a negative sense, but more in the sense of carrying the club's history with pride. Djurgården also has a strong away following, often well-traveled and organized. Djurgård fans often see themselves as sophisticated, traditional and "real winners". There is a pride in belonging to something "older" and "classy". Hammarby's identity has long had a working-class stamp and is known for its popular nature. Many fans identify not only with the team but with the lifestyle of being "Bajare". It's not just a team, it's a feeling, a belonging. Fan culture: Spontaneous, creative and often chaotic in a charming way. Known for high volume, strong singing and huge crowd turnout. Has had one of Europe's highest average attendances in the second division, which says a lot about the commitment. Strong focus on community rather than just results. Bajen fans are often seen as passionate, rowdy, but warm. They are there for the team, for the party, and for each other – regardless of the result on the pitch.

The two teams did not meet for five years (2010-2014) when Hammarby played in the second tier Superettan with Djurgården remaining in Allsvenskan. In 2013, both Djurgården and Hammarby moved into the newly built Tele2 Arena (now 3 Arena ) located in Johanneshov, just south of the city centre. This increased tensions significantly between the two sets of fans.
