LEGIA WARSAW - POLONIA WARSAW

Club

DERBY STOLICY

Before World War II both Polonia and Legia had comparable amount of support in the city. Generally they were based in all social classes, but Polonia was a bit more elite orientated. When Warsaw had to be rebuilt after the war, Legia became the team of the military and within a few years they were one of the best clubs in Poland. Polonia relegated and most of the new inhabitants of Warsaw started to support Legia. Nowadays both teams are among the best in the country but fans of Legia are still outnumbering Polonia. The nickname of Legia is Zieloni ("The Greens") or Wojskowi ("Militaries") and Polonia are called Czarne Koszule ("Black Shirts").
