Spartak and CSKA Moscow — CSKA and Spartak rivalry is rife with football hooliganism

The rivalry between the two Moscow-based clubs Spartak and CSKA is one of the most intense in world football. Another rivalry that came off social backgrounds, CSKA and Spartak rivalry is rife with football hooliganism.

CSKA was the official team of the Soviet Army back in the days of the massive Soviet Union whereas Spartak was built by the Trade Unionists who were the representatives of the working class of communist Russia.

The violence and hate is at such an extreme level that official records suggest that more than 1100 police officials are deployed every time the two face each other. There have also been reports of racial chants being and jibes being taken by the fans of both the clubs and the rivalry is nothing short of being called mad.

Current head to head record:

Spartak wins	Draws	CSKA Wins
64	33	58
