The Athletiba or Atletiba is the Brazilian football derby between the clubs Athletico Paranaense and Coritiba FC, both from Curitiba, Paraná. These clubs were founded in 1924 and 1909, respectively, and have been each other's biggest rival for many decades. On many occasions the Campeonato Paranaense, the state league of the state of Paraná, was decided by this derby.
The Athletiba is the only local derby in Brazilian football between two national champion clubs outside the Big Twelve, and also the one with most encounters in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A outside such group, with 46 games until the end of the 2026 edition.

History
[edit source]Background
[edit source]The Brazilian city of Curitiba, capital of the state Paraná in the south of Brazil, has always been divided in two halves when it comes to football. The traditional families that had lived in Curitiba for generations rooted for América and Internacional, whereas the new immigrants (mainly the Germans) were represented by Coritiba. It stayed like that, until the traditional families were united when América and Internacional merged to become "Atlético Paranaense" in 1924.
Matches
[edit source]The first official game between Coxa and Furacão took place on June 8, 1924. On the field of Coritiba, Parque Graciosa, the new immigrants won 6–3. It took until December 25, 1927, for Athletico to win its first Atletiba, when Coritiba was beaten 2–1 at Água Verde. After that, it was Coritiba's turn to wait 3 years for a victory in the derby. In 1930 Coritiba broke the spell and won 7–3.
The largest victory of Athletico against Coritiba was a 6–2 win on April 6, 1938, at the Estádio Joaquim Américo. Coritiba's largest win is not the aforementioned 7–3, but a 6–0 victory on November 14, 1959. The highest scoring games are a 7–4 victory for Coritiba and a 6–5 Athletico victory.
In the Campeonato Paranaense, the state competition, Coritiba holds the record with 39 titles, followed by Athletico, with 28 titles. They have played against each other in the final of the tournament nineteen times, with Athletico having a slight advantage, winning 10 times, while Coritiba won 9.[2]

- Notes
- ↑ In 2002, the four clubs playing in the Copa Sul-Minas (Athletico Paranaense, Coritiba, Paraná Clube and Malutrom) did not participate in the 2002 Campeonato Paranaense, won by Iraty. The "Supercampeonato Paranaense", won by Athletico, was contested later and included these four teams, along with the top four clubs from the regular championship.
- ↑ The 1973 Torneio do Povo was the only edition of the tournament in which the CBD took part in the organization.
