The Dhaka Derby is a football rivalry between the Dhaka teams of Abahani and Mohammedan; although the rivalry was bigger in the past, it is still considered to be the biggest game in Bangladesh's domestic football scene.[1][2][3][4]
Mohammedan was founded in 1936,[5] and Abahani in 1972. Bangladesh football's popularity grew based on the two Dhaka clubs – Mohammedan and Abahani. These are the two clubs that have divided the country's fans into two camps over the course of a fierce rivalry of 47-odd years.[6] These two clubs meet several times a year in competitions like the Federation Cup, Bangladesh Premier League, Independence Cup.
