Fans

An aspect of the Belgrade derby are the fans that create an impressive atmosphere with loud cheering and original choreography. Both sides prepare intensely between the matches, make large flags and special messages that are appropriate for that particular occasion, to be usually directed towards the opposing side.

Partizan's supporters, known as Grobari (gravediggers or ), were formed in 1970. The origin of the nickname itself is uncertain, but an accepted theory is that it was given by their biggest rivals the Red Star fans, referring to club's mostly black colours which were similar to official uniforms of cemetery undertakers. Another theory says that the name arrives from the Partizan's stadium street name - Humska (rough English translation might be Graves). The first groups of organized Partizan fan supporters began to visit the JNA stadium in the late 1950s. Partizan's participation in the 1966 European Cup Final

 attracted much more fans to the stadium and it is considered to be the crucial moment of the organized fans moving to the south stand of the stadium where they are gathering up to this day. During the 1970s the Grobari started bringing fan equipments to the stadiums such as supporting scarfs, transparents, flags and flame torches, which gave a whole new aspect to their sport club supporting. By the 1980s the Grobari were one of the four main fan groups in SFR Yugoslavia and began outmarching to all Partizan's matches across the country and Europe. Because of their expressed hooliganism toward other clubs' supporters in those times, fans who represented the core of the Grobari firm were often called among themselves "Riot Squad". They were best known for their English style of supporting, which was mainly based on loud and continuous singing. By 2010, the Grobari consisted of three large groups: Južni Front, Grobari 1970 and Grobari Beograd.

Supporters of the various Red Star sports teams are known as Delije . Delije is plural of the singular form delija, a word that entered the Serbian language during the Turkish Ottoman occupation of Serbia which nowadays means brave handsome young man. The name Delije first began to be used by hardcore Red Star supporters during late 1980s, with official inauguration taking place on January 7, 1989. Up to that point, the die-hard Red Star fans were scattered amongst 7–8 fan groups that shared the north stand at the Red Star Stadium (known colloquially as Marakana), most prominent of which were Red Devils, Zulu Warriors, and Ultras. As a sign of appreciation the club direction allowed the word Delije in block letters to be written across their stadium's north stand - the gathering point of the club's most loyal and passionate fans. They are also called Cigani (English
English language
English is a West Germanic language that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England and spread into what was to become south-east Scotland under the influence of the Anglian medieval kingdom of Northumbria...

: Gypsies) by their arch rivals Grobari, fans of Partizan. Although, Delije generally considered the name Cigani to be insulting, they occasionally use this name in their own songs and chants. By 2010, Delije-Sever consist of five larger groups: Ultras RSB, Ultra Boys, Belgrade Boys, Heroes, Brigate among other fanatical supporters from all around Serbia and beyond.

Incidents involving both fan groups as well as riot police can often be seen before, during and after derby matches. The biggest incident occurred on October 30, 1999 at the Stadion FK Partizan, when a 17-year-old Red Star fan was killed by a signal rocket fired from Grobari's stand. More recently, fights between two rival groups are not necessarily connected with the match day and may happen anytime. In one of these arranged fights in 2006, between younger fans armed with knives, a Partizan fan was stabbed to death by a Red Star fan.
