The Derbiul Bucureștiului (English: Bucharest derby), also known as Derbi de București and Big Bucharest derby is the football local derby in Bucharest, Romania, between Steaua Bucuresti (FCSB) and FC Rapid București. It is considered to be one of the fiercest intra-city derbies in the country, along with the other major local derbies, Cluj derby and Eternal derby, one of the greatest and hotly contested derbies in Europe.
