The Mashhad derby (Persian: شهرآورد مشهد), also known as the Razavi Khorasan derby (Persian: شهرآورد خراسان رضوی), is a football local derby match between the four most popular clubs from Mashhad: Aboomoslem, Payam, Siah Jamegan and Padideh. In the 1980s and early 1990s, it was Iran's second most important derby after the Tehran derby. It has lost its status to more popular derbies such as Isfahan derby, Ahvaz derby, Tabriz derby, Gilan derby and Shiraz derby.

History

Historically, the top two football clubs from Mashhad, F.C. Aboomoslem and Payam Khorasan, would face their chief rival in this derby from 1984 until 1989 and later in 1991-1992 when competing in Mashhad Football League and Khorasan Football League. F.C. Aboomoslem was owned by Iran Police Force and Payam Khorasan owned by Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. The derby venue, Takhti Stadium, would fill with respective fans carrying their club's banner color: black—Aboomoslem; green—Payam Mashhad. Aboomoslem's fanbase were generally from Saadabad Square, Sanabad Street and Abkooh. Payam's fanbase were generally from Tabarsi Street.

In the 1990s both sides rotated turns playing in Azadegan League and Second Division. In 2001, they would again face each other in this derby in the playoff round of Division Two for promotion to Azadegan League.

In 2008, both sides would play in Iran's main league Persian Gulf Cup and thus renewed their derby encounters.
