The club's biggest rivals are Changwon City, with whom they contest as the 'Gyeongsangnam-do derby' twice a year in what are always fiercely fought affairs. Other rivals include K-League team, Busan IPark, who are largely seen as the city's pretenders following a move from the Gudeok Stadium to the more recently built Asiad Stadium, resulting in Busan Transportation Corporation taking on the nickname, the Busan Derby. Lastly, they have a friendly rivalry with Daejeon Korail, whom they play against each season in what has been dubbed the Lokomotiv derby.
