The fixture between football clubs GAIS and IFK Göteborg is a local derby in Gothenburg, Sweden and a fierce rivalry. The derby is sometimes called Göteborgsklassikern (transl. The Gothenburg Classic) or Arbetarderbyt (transl. The Worker's Derby). It is also commonly known by the collective term Göteborgsderby (transl. Gothenburg derby) which is also used for other fixtures between Gothenburg clubs.

GAIS had its glory period from the late 1910s to the early 1930s, while IFK have been the dominant team for the rest of the derby's existence, winning 18 Swedish championships as well as two UEFA Cup titles. The record attendance for second tier football in Sweden, and all club football outside Allsvenskan, was set at a derby in 1976.[1]
