[[File:Kolkata Derby.jpg|alt=The Kolkata Derby|thumb|The Kolkata Derby]]
[[File:Kolkata Derby.jpg|alt=The Kolkata Derby|thumb|Kolkata Derby, held on 19 January 2020, was won by Mohun Bagan by 2–1.]]
Kolkata Derby or the ''Boro Match'' is a football match between ATK Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. The two clubs currently meet at least twice a year in [[Indian Super League]] and once a year in [[Calcutta Football League]].  
Kolkata Derby or the ''Boro Match'' is a football match between ATK Mohun Bagan FC (previously [[Mohun Bagan AC]]) and its city rival [[East Bengal Club]]. The rivalry was born out of a social tension between the two cultural groups of [[Bengalis]] in Kolkata: the ''[[Ghotis]]'' (nativists) and the ''[[Bangals]]'' (migrants), that eventually led to the formation of East Bengal Club as a representation of the Bangals, and hence the Derby. The first match between the two sides was played on 8 August 1921 in the Coochbehar Cup semifinal that ended in a goalless draw. Mohun Bagan won the replayed semifinal by 3–0 score. The goals in the first ever derby were scored by Rabi Ganguly, Poltu Dasgupta and Abhilash Ghosh.


Till 19 February 2021, 373 matches have been played between the two teams (355 competitive matches and 18 exhibition games) out of which ATK Mohun Bagan FC (previously [[Mohun Bagan AC|Mohun Bagan FC]]) has won 122 matches and SC East Bengal have won 129 times<ref>{{cite web|url=https://themohunbaganac.com/remembering-derbies/|title=Kolkata Derby List}}</ref> (including all competitive matches and exhibition games) and rest of the matches ended in draws.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/kolkata-derby-mohun-bagan-vs-east-bengal-statistics-history-rivalry-wins-losses-draws-all-time-i-league-calcutta-football-league/article29303497.ece/amp/|title=Kolkata Derby: Stats add intrigue to the Bagan-EB rivalry|website=sportstar.thehindi.com|access-date=12 September 2019}}</ref>
