Scanian derbies

A Scanian derby (Swedish: Skånederby) is the name given to any fixture between football clubs in Scania, the southernmost county and traditional province of Sweden. The most high profile fixture in the region is the rivalry between Helsingborgs IF and Malmö FF. Historically, the rivalry between the two clubs and Landskrona BoIS is also well known. Additional Scanian football clubs that are playing in the upper three tiers of Swedish football are Trelleborgs FF, Kristianstad FC and Ängelholms FF. The only city with more than one club in the top three tiers is Malmö with Malmö FF and FC Rosengård.
