The Black Gold Derby, or the Oklahoma derby,[1] is an American soccer rivalry between the two United Soccer League clubs based in Oklahoma: OKC Energy FC and Tulsa Roughnecks FC. The winner of the regular season series is awarded a four-foot wrench.[2]
History
The Oklahoma City Energy formed in late 2013, and the current iteration of a club called the "Tulsa Roughnecks" formed in mid 2014. Both clubs began their series ahead of the 2015 USL season.[3]
The Energy's formation came through local businessman, Bob Funk, Jr., who pursued a bid for a club in United Soccer League in early 2013. Funk was awarded a franchise on July 2, 2013 with an intended launch date in 2014. Ahead of the 2014 season the Energy FC announced an affiliation agreement with Major League Soccer side, Sporting Kansas City. Former Kansas City goalkeeper, Jimmy Nielsen, was named head coach.[4][5]
In March 2014, OKC Pro Soccer owner and founder of Oklahoma City's Fields & Futures program Tim McLaughlin joined the club as an ownership partner, bringing a secured lease to Taft Stadium, where Energy FC began play in 2015. The club's 2014 home schedule was played at Pribil Stadium on the campus of Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School.[6]
The origins of the Tulsa Roughnecks date back to 1978, when the original Tulsa Roughnecks formed. The original Roughnecks formed as a relocation of Team Hawaii ahead of the 1978 North American Soccer League season. The original Roughnecks won Soccer Bowl '83 against the Toronto Blizzard.[7] The second iteration of the Roughnecks came in 1993, which joined the initial United Soccer Leagues. The Roughnecks best season results came in 1993 and 1994 where they reached the divisional finals in the playoffs. The club folded following the 1999–2000 USISL I-League season.[8]
