Both supporters have also been known for their psywar, conducted throughout the game, making the rivalrous match much awaited.

History

The atmosphere on the first meeting between Arema and Persebaya was mediocre, most probably as a result of both teams playing on different competitions. Persebaya was competing in Perserikatan, while Arema participated in Galatama.

Initially, the feud was not between Arema and Persebaya. In fact, Persebaya rival was Persema Malang in Perserikatan, whereas Arema were against Mitra Surabaya (formerly known as Niac Mitra) in Galatama.[1]

The situation had changed since Perserikatan and Galatama were merged into Liga Indonesia in 1994. Despite Persema and Mitra Surabaya were still in the competition at that time, Persebaya and Arema were gaining much attention from their supporters. Therefore, the East Java derby began.

As time has gone by, Persema's achievement was no better than Arema and Mitra Surabaya was disbanded. As a result, many football fans had decided to support Arema and Persebaya instead. Because the competition between the two teams is remarkably intense, Arema and Persebaya have to be separated into different region groups (east and west) in the league. It was intended to avoid friction between supporters in the event of the derby. In case the competition no longer implements the two-region system, the East Java derby will be inevitable. Until now, it is still forbidden for the two supporters to meet in a stadium according to the joint agreement made in 1988.[2]
