South Indian Derby also known as Southern Derby[1] is the name given to a football derby contested by any two of Kerala Blasters FC, Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC, the three professional football clubs in South India.[2][3] The geographical proximity of all the clubs contributes significantly to the rivalries, whereas between the Blasters and Bengaluru, the competition between the fan clubs of both teams also intensifies the derby.[4]

Bengaluru was founded in 2013, with the Blasters and Chennaiyin founded one year later in 2014. The first fixture between two of the teams was in 2014 when Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC first met in the inaugural season of Indian Super League. Earlier, the South Indian derby was only between Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC. Bengaluru joined Indian Super League in 2017, playing in the same division as the Blasters and Chennaiyin for the first time. They played their first ever South Indian derby against Chennayin FC on 17 December 2017[5] and played against Kerala Blasters for the first time in 31 December.[6]

Chennaiyin FC v Kerala Blasters

Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC were founded in 2014 as two among the eight clubs to compete in the inaugural season of Indian Super League. The Blasters and Chennaiyin first met on 20 October 2014 at Marina Arena with the match ending in 2–1 in favour of Chennaiyin.[7] Also in the second match at Kochi , Chennaiyin won the match 1–0. The clubs met again each other, this time at the play offs where the Blasters defeated Chennaiyin 3–0. Despite entering the second leg with a three-goal advantage, Chennaiyin drew the tie level by winning in regular time 3–0. However, Stephen Pearson scored the tie-clinching goal in the 116th minute for the Blasters to seal their 4–3 win.[8] The rivalry actually intensified in 2016 when Chennaiyin manager Marco Materazzi was given a one-match suspension after he was involved in a scuffle between a Chennaiyin player and a Kerala Blasters player.[9] This incident led the Blasters fans to wear masks of Zinedine Zidane at the return leg in Kochi, intensifying the rivalry between the clubs.[10]

Bengaluru FC v Kerala Blasters

Kerala Blasters and Bengaluru FC first met on 31 December 2017, with Bengaluru winning the match 3–1. However the rivalry between the Blasters and Bengaluru is a unique one in Indian football as it was developed even before the Blasters and Bengaluru played against each other.[12] The rivalry originates from the competition between both clubs fan bases; Manjappada of the Blasters and Bengaluru's West Block Blues.[13] When Bengaluru FC joined the Indian Super League in 2017, it was also announced that C. K. Vineeth and Rino Anto, both played for Kerala Blasters in 2016 season on loan from Bengaluru would be signing permanently with the Blasters. When Bengaluru played a home against North Korean side April 25 SC in the first leg of the AFC Cup Inter-Zone in August 2017, both Vineeth and Anto were also present at Kanteerava for witnessing the game. Even though the majority of West Block Blues began singing their specialized chants of Vineeth and Rino Anto,[14] acknowledging their presence and contribution for the club, a bunch of supporters among the group also started abusive chanting[15] against Kerala Blasters which later started a tension among the groups[16] when Rino Anto expressed his displeasure regarding the incident on social media.[17] The rivalry intensified when the groups started going against each other in the form of banters.[18] Since their first meeting in December 2017, the matches between the Blasters and Bengaluru is one of the most anticipated derbies in the Indian Super League.[19][20]

Bengaluru FC v Chennaiyin FC

Bengaluru FC was found in 2013 to feature as one of the thirteen teams in I-League.[22] They played their first ever I-League match in the 2013-14 I-League season.[23] Bengaluru FC joined Indian Super League from the 2017-18 season.[24] Chennaiyin FC was found in 2014 as one of the eight teams to participate in the inaugural season of Indian Super League.[25] Bengaluru and Chennaiyin first met on 17 December 2017 at Sree Kanteerava Stadium (home ground of Bengaluru FC), with the match ending 1–2 in favour of Chennaiyin.[26] They both came face to face three times that season. Out of that, the last match match was the finals of 2017-18 Indian Super League, which ended in the favour of Chennaiyin as they emerged victorious by beating Bengaluru 2-3 thereby clinching their second ever Indian Super League title.[27] Since then, the fans of both teams had started to develop a rivalry between both the clubs.[28] The rivalry between fans and players started to get more intense when the fans of Chennaiyin FC displayed a controversial banner speaking out about Raphael Augusto, when he left Chennaiyin to play in Bengaluru during the 2019-20 Indian Super League campaign.[29] The rivalry between Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC since their first confrontation then came to be called 'Southern Derby ' and is one of the most awaited match in the league.[30]
