The Derby of Thessaloniki () is a football local rivalry between Aris and PAOK, both of which are based in Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece. Aris play their home games at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium in Charilaou district of eastern Thessaloniki, while PAOK are based at the Toumba Stadium in the neighbouring Toumba district. The two stadiums are 1.54 km apart, straight-line distance.

History

Social rivalry

The rivalry between these two Thessalonian clubs can be traced back to the interwar period. Upper class local Greeks supported Aris and Greek refugees supported PAOK. These refugees were mostly working class migrants from Asia Minor and Constantinople. They settled in the region of Macedonia after the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. The antagonism between those social groups has been expressed in many ways and one of them was football.

Football rivalry

Aris were founded in March 1914 and PAOK in April 1926. On 12 June 1927, the first derby of Thessaloniki took place, ending with a 2–1 PAOK victory. Up to 1959, the two clubs were fighting for the Macedonia Football Clubs Association (EPSM) ( or Ε.Π.Σ.Μ.) local championship title and they also met some times in the final stage of the Panhellenic Championship. In 1959, the Alpha Ethniki - the precursor of the current Super League - was set up as a national round-robin tournament. Aris vs PAOK rivalry has continued to grow more and more heated over the years as the two clubs battle for supremacy in Northern Greece.

Other sports rivalries

Aris and PAOK rivalry extends to other sports as well, especially basketball, where from the mid-1980s until the early 1990s they were battling for the Greek Championship title, with both also achieving significant success in continental competitions. In volleyball, both teams competed for many years in the top-tier Greek Volley League. Aris had a strong side in the 1990s and PAOK has enjoyed domestic success since 2015.

•There were no games in 1997–98, 2005–06, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18 seasons due to the relegation of Aris to lower divisions.

Significant games

First official match

Tsolakidis

The first-ever meeting between both clubs came in a Macedonia Football Clubs Association (EPSM) match on 12 June 1927. In the 1926–27 season, newly founded PAOK participated in the 2nd tier of the MFCA regional league and finished at the top, facing the first division teams (four in total, one of them was Aris) in classification post-season matches. The game was held at Iraklis Old Stadium and ended with a 2–1 PAOK victory.

1970 Greek Cup final

In 1970, the two clubs met in a Cup final for the first time. The two teams took to the field at Kaftanzoglio Stadium on 28 June and Aris took the lead with Keramidas scoring early in the 8th minute. PAOK had a great chance to equalize from the penalty spot, but Koudas missed. Aris prevailed 1–0 and claimed the trophy which remains to this day their last domestic title.

1972 Greek Cup quarter-final

(Abandoned in 89') Balafas

Aris had a 19-game unbeaten run against PAOK that lasted for nine years and ended in this eventful encounter. The match was suspended at the 89th minute because Aris players started a fight with the referee. After the game, Alexiadis and Spyridon were banned for one year, Syropoulos for eight months, while Balafas and Semertzis received lesser suspensions. PAOK went on to win the 1972 Cup which was their first domestic title in the club's history.

2003 Greek Cup final

Second time that the two clubs met in a Cup final. Kaftanzoglio Stadium, a neutral ground and Thessaloniki's largest stadium was under renovation for the 2004 Summer Olympic games. The HFF's regulation for that season's Cup stated that if the final was to be held at Thessaloniki (that would be the case if at least one of the two finalists was a club from Thessaloniki), it would be hosted at the second largest stadium of the city which was Toumba. About a week before the game, Aris demanded from the Federation either the final to be played at Kalamaria Stadium or Makedonikos Stadium which were both neutral grounds (with much smaller capacity though) or to be held a draw between Toumba Stadium and Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium, but both requests were denied due to the tournament's regulation. PAOK defeated Aris 1–0 with an excellent goal scored by Georgiadis and earned their fourth Greek Cup title. Aris had a great chance to equalize late at the game, but the ball hit the post on Morris' effort. PAOK manager, Angelos Anastasiadis became the first in the club's history to win the Cup both as a player (in 1974) and manager.

In the 2023–24 season, PAOK finished first in the regular season and managed to remain on top after the conclusion of the play-offs, claiming their fourth league title on a remarkable fashion. PAOK defeated all their major rivals (AEK Athens, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and Aris) in the last four matches, winning against the three league contenders from Athens at home and clinching the title with a 1–2 away victory over city rivals Aris at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium on 19 May 2024. Aris had a great chance to equalize and deprive the title from their rivals, but Ansarifard headed the ball wide from close range on the last play of the game.
