The Công An Hà Nội–Thể Công-Viettel derby, also known as Capital derby () or Armed forces derby (), refers to football matches between Cong An Hanoi and The Cong–Viettel in Hanoi, first contested in 1956. Both clubs are among the most successful football clubs back in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the current unified Vietnam. Cong An Hanoi plays at the Hàng Đẫy Stadium and The Cong–Viettel at the Mỹ Đình National Stadium.
History Before the unification of Vietnam, Cong An Hanoi and The Cong were among the powerhouse of North Vietnamese football, with each team representing one of the two main armed forces in the country. Therefore, the early Hanoi derby was referred as the Army–Police derby. Thể Công won 9 North Vietnam national titles, while Cong An Hanoi won 3. The two teams continued to be a major force in Vietnamese football after the unification until the 2000s, when both team declined after the professionalisation of the Vietnamese National Championship. In 2003, Cong An Hanoi sold their league participation spot to Vietnam Airlines and dissolved.
Viettel returned to the V.League 1 in 2019, while Cong An Hanoi joined them in 2023. On 14 February 2023, Viettel defeated Cong An Hanoi 2–1 in third matchday of the 2023 season at Hàng Đẫy. This was the first encounter between the two teams in the top-flight after 21 years.
