Basketball
From the end of the 90's until today, there is a huge interest about Montenegrin Derby in basketball.
During the era of SFR Yugoslavia, matches between KK Budućnost and KK Sutjeska (earlier named as KK Ibon and KK Nikšić) were not so popular, primarily because the clubs played in the different leagues. While Budućnost played in the First Yugoslav League and after that in YUBA League (FR Yugoslavia), Sutjeska always played in the lower ranks.
But, at the end of 90's, two clubs played their first matches in the top-tier competitions. As a champion with dozens national titles of FR Yugoslavia and Montenegro, Budućnost was sucessfull.
At the last seasons, basketball derby Budućnost - Sutjeska became match number one in Montenegro. Especially, derbies are attended by big crowd when they are played in Nikšić. Both supporters group are attending derby, and until today, record attendances were 5,000 (Nikšić) and 4,000 (Podgorica).
