The Imphal Derby (Manipuri: ꯏꯝꯐꯥꯜ ꯗꯔꯕꯤ꯫) refers to the football match in Imphal, Manipur between NEROCA and TRAU. Both teams play at the Khuman Lampak Stadium. Amongst the most successful clubs in Manipur, they have won a combined 21 honours, 10 for NEROCA and 11 for TRAU.
The first derby in the I-League was played on 8 January 2020, in which TRAU emerged as the maiden winner by 2–1. The derby had already begun when the two local rivals contested in the Manipur State League. The Imphal Derby gained fame during the 131st edition of the Durand Cup, when competitive football returned to the city after COVID-19 pandemic in India.[1][2]
In 2022, due to the popularity of the derby, the Government of Manipur declared a half-holiday for all governmental and educational institutions in build-up to the match on 18 August 2022,[3] in which NEROCA emerged victorious with a score of 3–1 in Group C opener.[4]
