This list deals with association football rivalries around the world. This includes local derbies as well as matches between teams further apart. Major footballing rivalries manifest themselves in many ways.

There is fierce hatred between the fans of the clubs and there are often fights. On occasions up to 1500 police officers are required to prevent trouble from occurring.

England

Arsenal vs Chelsea

Arsenal vs Manchester United

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal and Tottenham are neighbouring north London clubs, situated less than four miles from each other, hence the footballing rivalry. The rivalry dates back to 1919, when Arsenal were awarded promotion ahead of Tottenham, despite Tottenham finishing above them. Arsenal have won many more League titles (13 to Spurs' 2), and have won ten FA Cups to Tottenham's eight, many of these in recent years. However, Spurs have won more European trophies and League Cups; Arsenal more Community Shields. An example in recent years that highlights the rivalry is the much criticised move of Sol Campbell from Tottenham to Arsenal. At the time Campbell was considered one of the best defenders in the country and was in demand from teams such as Barcelona and Inter Milan. Campbell's decision to join close rivals Arsenal came as a shock to fans. The move even prompted death threats from fans upset that he chose Arsenal. Such is the depth of feeling, Campbell is still booed (and taunted as 'Judas') with every touch of the ball by Spurs fans in the matches where he features against them – despite having since moved on to Newcastle United F.C.. – almost nine years after his departure from the club but joined Arsenal again in January 2010 until the end of the 2009–2010 season.

Aston Villa vs Birmingham City

The Second City derby (also known as the Birmingham City derby) is a derby match between the two major clubs in the city of Birmingham – Aston Villa F.C. and Birmingham City F.C.. The clubs first met in 1879, when Birmingham City were called Small Heath, the game finished 1–0 to Small Heath, although Villa have won more derbies than their opponents since, and dominate the trophy count, winning twenty major honours to Birmingham's one . On numerous occasions the fans have clashed and violence has occurred. In 2003, a game which saw 2 red cards and a 3–0 defeat for Aston Villa, violence also took place following the game by fans on Witton Lane outside of Villa Park, where missiles were hurled at Police who were attempting to keep both sets of fans apart.

Blackburn vs Burnley

Blackburn Vs Burnley. Both teams were founder members of the Football League, and both competed in the first ever season, the 1888/89 season. The first ever competitive league match between the two sides took place at Turf Moor on 3 November 1888, and Blackburn won the game 7–1. . Overall games between the two clubs has resulted in 39 wins for Blackburn Rovers, 37 wins for Burnley and 15 draws.

Blackpool vs Preston North End

Blackpool vs Preston North End

Coventry City vs Leicester City

Coventry City vs Leicester City is known as the M69 Derby because the two clubs are separated by the motorway of the same name, this rivalry has also been marred by violence and was voted the 26th fiercest rivalry by the Football Pools.

Derby County vs Nottingham Forest

Animosity between the clubs has grown even further with the appointment of former Derby manager Billy Davies at Forest in December 2009, along with the signing of several former Derby players in Lee Camp, Robert Earnshaw and Dexter Blackstock, and the appointment of Nigel Clough as Derby manager, along with the signing of former-Forest favourite Kris Commons at Pride Park. Two fractious FA Cup ties, including one in which Derby came from 2–0 down to win 3–2 and win at the City Ground for the first time since 1971, did not help matters and Robbie Savage's post-match scarf waving did not endear him to the Forest support. Following a match on 29 August 2009, in which Forest won 3–2 to secure their first victory over Derby in 6½ years, a post-match scuffle broke out between the Derby and Forest players after Nathan Tyson, in reaction to Savage's scarf waving the previous season, celebrated in front of the Derby County fans with a corner flag that had the Nottingham Forest logo on it, an incident the FA said they would investigate with some 'urgency' the end result of which saw both club's fined for failing to control their players and Tyson charged with improper conduct. Derby were fined £20,000, of which £10,000 was suspended, and ordered to pay £400 costs, Nottingham Forest were fined £25,000, of which £10,000 was suspended, and ordered to pat £1,200 costs and Tyson was fined £5,000 and given a two-match ban and ordered to pay £400 costs. The most recent meeting of the two teams was held at Pride Park on 30 January 2010, a highly charged game ended with Derby County winning 1–0 with a goal from striker Rob Hulse, one of Derby's 16 corners in the game provided the striker with a heading chance.

Everton vs Liverpool

The homes of English teams Everton and Liverpool are so close that the Merseyside Derby is a very local derby. In fact, Liverpool FC was formed when Everton, the original team in the city, moved from Anfield to Goodison Park over a rent dispute. Everton's previous landlord founded Liverpool as his own team to play in the then empty Anfield stadium. The derby is often known as the "friendly" derby, with families in Liverpool often split down the middle; it is one of the few local derbies where fan segregation is not enforced. Liverpool are the more successful of the clubs, winning eighteen league titles and five European Cups and other European trophies, while Everton have won one European trophy and 9 league titles in total. The relationship became somewhat less friendly and more heated after the Heysel tragedy which resulted in the death of 39 Juventus fans during the 1985 European Cup Final: because of this, UEFA enforced a five-year ban on all English clubs from European competition (Liverpool were initially banned for a further three years after other English clubs would be allowed back in, but in the event were only banned for one extra year). The ban on all English clubs caused outrage for many Everton fans as they were denied the chance to compete in the European Cup the following season. Everton had just been voted the European team of the season, and many people believed they would go on to achieve great things including winning the 1986 European Cup. However, the ban on English clubs meant that would not happen. Everton won the League championship again in 1987, but were again denied entry to the European Cup the following season. The team quickly broke up as the best players moved abroad for European football, and the team went into a decline from which it has never really recovered. This fixture has seen more red cards than any other in English history and it is always a cauldron of noise no matter on which side of Stanley Park the derby is taking place. In recent years, the rivalry has become increasingly more intense.

Ipswich vs Norwich

Leeds United vs Bradford City

Leeds United vs Manchester United

The Roses rivalry is a footballing rivalry between the Northern English clubs Leeds United and Manchester United. The name of the rivalry is derived from the historic Wars of the Roses which was carried out between the House of Lancaster and the House of York, this has led to a strong rivalry between the historic counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire Independent research by the Football Fans Census has shown that in English football both Leeds and Manchester United are within the top three clubs which fans of other sides feel passionately against. However the same survey also stated that although Leeds fans see United as a rival, the reverse is not the case with fans of United viewing Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City as their predominant rivals. In a recent FA Cup clash between the two sides, fans of United chose to sing songs directed at Manchester City ("...this is how it feels to be City") rather than at Leeds.

During the 1970s when British football hooliganism was at its height, the fights between Leeds' Service Crew and Manchester United's Red Army, two of the most notorious hooligan firms in Britain, became known as some of the most violent clashes in British football, this led to many people getting hurt and still in the modern day when the clubs play there is a high security level.

Liverpool vs Manchester United

Being the two most successful teams in English football history, Liverpool and Manchester United from the north west of England are rivals for trophies. The biannual league matches are considered by some critics to be the biggest games of the season. Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard also believes this to be true.

Manchester City vs Manchester United

Middlesbrough vs Newcastle United

Millwall vs West Ham United

The rivalry between Millwall and West Ham is a rivalry in England . There is evidence to show that the rivalry began when there was a strike by the predominantly West Ham supporting ship works, whereas the Millwall supporting workers refused to join the strike. However, this rivalry has been lessened some due to the fact that both clubs have played in different divisions for much of their history. On almost all occasions when the sides meet violence occurs with many supporters getting hurt and injured. On match days there is a significantly higher police presence than normal, with as much as 1,000 extra police officers per 10,000 fans. The fighting that takes place between these two supporters is always so intense it is almost always described as "animal fighting".

In 2004 there was serious violence during Millwall's 4–1 victory at the New Den, the first time the sides had met at the New Den, which was later the centre piece of a lot of Millwall merchandise – t-shirts with 'Millwall 4–1 West Ham, one word – HAMMERED' as well as some others which proved to be big sellers and some of the t-shirts are still notably worn today by Millwall supporters. The violence in the ground was mostly West Ham supporters fighting with police, through frustration, during the game, but some fans even chucked ripped up seats at Millwall fans and ripped up a 'Lion's Against Racism' banner. It was described in newspapers as 'West Ham's Day of Shame'. Millwall were praised for being well-behaved during the match. However, there was several clashes between both sets of supporters in near-by areas. The win meant Millwall retained the 'East London Derby'. To add to this, Millwall got to the FA Cup final and as a result a UEFA Cup place the following season; this was seen as Millwall's 'finest' year in recent times. The game saw Millwall miss two penalties yet still win 4–1 and they got the added bonus of waving off West Ham player Bywater after he was sent off.

The following season both teams were fighting for promotion to the premier league, so the two games that they played would have been vital in securing success. Millwall won 1–0 at the fixture played at the New Den. During this match several West Ham fans threw coins at Player-Manager Dennis Wise when he was preparing to take a corner in front on the West Ham fans, who were sectioned to the top-tier of the away stand only after the major rioting when they were allowed in the bottom tier during Millwall's 4–1 victory the previous year. In addition to this, Millwall goalkeeper Graham Stack was also a victim of missile throwing with a mobile phone being chucked. Dennis Wise picked up the coins and gave them to a young Millwall fan who later donated the money to Charity – this was seen as another great moment in the history of these two rivals. During Millwall's second leg of their UEFA Cup match, there were rumours that West Ham fans were going to fly to Hungary to cause trouble with the Millwall fans, this caused media speculation and warnings to Millwall supporters who were attending the game, however, the rumours turned out to be false. In the return fixture they drew 1–1 and this was the last time they met after West Ham secured promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs.

As always, there is unfinished business between the two sides and on 25 August 2009, the two sides met in a Carling Cup clash which saw West Ham take the 'East London Derby' for the first time since its artificial creation. There was a lot of media hype in the run up to the game itself and was the talk of the draw as soon as it was announced. As the game drew closer and more media speculation surrounded it, the Metropolitan police decided to halve the number of tickets available to Millwall from 3,000 to 1,500 for strong fears of violence. The game itself though was marred by major riots inside and outside the ground which shocked the country and it was seen by many as what the 1970s and early 1980s were like for football hooliganism. Before the game had even started rioting broke out outside the ground and riot police were called in early. Pubs were smashed up eye witnesses not involved later admitted fearing for their safety and some even said it was like they were in a "war-battle" Millwall initially took a half time lead with a Neil Harris goal which sent the Millwall fans going wild. In the second half, West Ham supporters started fighting with stewards near the Millwall fans and then hundreds of West Ham supporters invaded the pitch after their equalising goal late on. In extra time hundreds more West Ham fans invaded the pitch after each of their two goals in extra time, and a minority of these fans threatened some Millwall players. Outside the ground, a Millwall fan was stabbed during the game. Police estimated that the violence involved hundreds of fans from both West Ham and Millwall. After the game there was an investigation and West Ham were found guilty of 2 out of their 4 charges and fined £115,000, which was seen as an insult by Millwall fans; Millwall were cleared of all 3 of their charges.

Speaking after the West Ham – Millwall Carling Cup clash, Harry Redknapp, a former West Ham player and manager, called for the two clubs to never be allowed to play each other in a cup game again, stating if they get drawn together, the balls should be put back in re-drawn. Due to Millwall playing Championship football and West Ham playing Premier League football, at present, the only chances of these two sides meeting is via a cup clash.

Newcastle United vs Sunderland

The Tyne–Wear derby is a fierce inter-city (although the cities are only about 10 miles apart) derby in England's north-east contested by Newcastle United FC and Sunderland AFC. The first competitive match between the sides took place on 24 December 1898 at Roker Park in which Newcastle triumphed 3–2. Sunderland's biggest ever victory in their history was a 9–1 victory over rivals Newcastle. Newcastle's biggest ever victory over Sunderland was 6–1 twice, once in 1920 and again in 1955.

Portsmouth vs Southampton

An extremely fierce rivalry which rages on the south coast of the United Kingdom, with immense hatred between each group of supporters. Portsmouth supporters often refer to Southampton supporters as "scum" or "scummers". There are a number of competing theories as to origin and supporters of many clubs refer to their rivals as "scum", although Portsmouth fans more commonly use the term "the scummers". According to some Portsmouth fans, the term "scum" developed out of an acronym standing for Southampton City (or Corporation) Union Men, with the term allegedly originating from when Southampton dockyard workers supposedly crossed the picket lines in the 1930s when Portsmouth dockyard workers were on strike. However this story is unlikely, as the two cities rely on entirely different types of ports – Southampton being a merchant port and Portsmouth, a naval one. There is also no known record of any strike occurring during the mentioned time period. Rather, this seems to be a modern attempt to incorrectly describe the origins of the rivalry.

Southampton supporters have taken to referring to their local rivals as "Skates". This is a derisive alternative to "matelot" to describe naval sailors, Portsmouth being the home of the Royal Navy. This term is in fact originally a dismissive one for sailors, which some Southampton fans have adopted. It was made popular as an abusive term towards Portsmouth fans after a Southampton fanzine asked readers to help search for the term most likely to cause offence to them.

Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday

The 'Steel City Derby' is a fierce local derby.

Former Wednesday player Alan Quinn became the first and currently only player to score for both sides in a Sheffield league derby when he scored for United in the December 2005 game, having previously scored Wednesday's goal in their 1–3 defeat at Bramall Lane in 2003.

Watford vs Luton Town

Separated by 19 miles of the M1 motorway, meetings between Watford and Luton Town are always important to both sets of fans, though such matches have been rare in recent years as the clubs are in different divisions.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs West Bromwich Albion

Due to the yo-yo promotions of the teams between the Premier League and Football League Championship, the clubs often avoid each other in their promotions and relegations. However, they will face each other in the 2010–11 Premier League season.

Following the demise of Drumcondra in the 1960s, Bohemians became the only major club from the Northside of Dublin. Some disturbances breaking out before, during and after fixtures, resulting in an large Garda presence at games.

While there have been many examples over the years of the importance of the fixture and the rivalry to the supporters of each club, one of the more recent incidents of note is the signing of Tony Grant and James Keddy by Bohs from Rovers, which led to a pig's head being thrown onto the pitch during their first game versus their old club, in a gesture aimed at Grant in particular. The incident was one of many to reach the front pages of Ireland's newspapers, particularly over the last ten to fifteen years and remained a topic of humour amongst the media for weeks after. In contrast, some of the darker incidents of recent times have been the desecration of the monument commemorating the former home of Shamrock Rovers, Glenmalure Park and two instances of crowd trouble at Dalymount Park in 2000 and Richmond Park in 2003, with the latter resulting in the eviction of Rovers from the Inchicore venue.

Derry City vs Finn Harps

Italy

Genoa vs Sampdoria

Internazionale vs Juventus

The Derby d'Italia is a football fixture in Italian football between Internazionale and Juventus. It is unique in Italian Football due to the fact that, until the 2006–07 season, the derby was the only match which had always been played in Serie A. In the 2006–07 Serie A season, for the first time ever, this derby was not played as Juventus had been relegated to Serie B, due to the Calciopoli scandal. The Derby d'Italia (Italian for "Derby of Italy") was coined back in 1967 by the famous Italian sports journalist Gianni Brera as the bi-annual football fixture in Italian football between Inter and Juventus.

Once Juventus returned to Serie A, the fixture resumed and the first one held was a fiercely contested draw. The first draw in the tie since 2001. The two teams also have the highest goals total in Serie A history.

Internazionale vs Milan

Derby della Madonnina, or the Milan Derby as it is sometimes known, is a football match between the Italian clubs A.C. Milan and F.C. Internazionale Milano (Inter). It is usually a semiannual fixture in the Italian football league Serie A; however, the derby has also taken place in the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. It is called "Derby della Madonnina" in honour of one of the main sights of the city of Milan, the statue of the virgin Mary on the top of the Duomo, which is usually called "Madonnina".

The most infamous of the derby matches between Milan and Inter was the second leg of the Champions' League quarterfinal on 12 April 2005. The game was abandoned after Milan goal keeper Dida was hit by a flare.

Juventus vs Torino

Lazio vs Roma

Napoli vs Roma

Palermo vs Catania

Netherlands

Ajax vs Feyenoord

The most important rivalry in the Netherlands is that between AFC Ajax and Feyenoord, known as De Klassieker (The Classic). Both clubs have won the Dutch national championship numerous times and, along with PSV, have dominated the Dutch league since the beginning of professional football in Holland in the 1950s. Ajax has been the more successful of the two, and is renowned for its technical style of play, while Feyenoord has the blue collar appeal closely associated with Rotterdam as a port city.

On occasions the rivalry has turned violent. In 1997, fans of the two teams clashed in a field, known as the Battle of Beverwijk. One fan was killed and many were injured. More recently, in 2004 during a pitch invasion Jorge Acuna was put into hospital after being attacked by a fan.

Northern Ireland

Glentoran vs Linfield

This derby revolves around the rivalry between Belfast's 'Big Two' Glentoran and Linfield, the two most successful clubs in the history of Northern Irish football. Although both clubs are traditionally associated with the Unioinst/Loyalist tendency of Northern Irish politics (and thus also have separate rivalries with the traditionally Nationalist/Republican Cliftonville) a fierce rivalry has built up between the two clubs due to their dominance of local football.

The clubs traditionally face each other on Boxing Day. Games between the two sides have frequently been marred by outbreaks of hooliganism. and even the appearance of animals at the 1985 Irish Cup final. The 2008 Boxing Day game was marred by some particularly violent scenes, with the game temporarily halted due to missiles being thrown onto the pitch. The incident led to the Irish Football Association suspending the traditional holiday fixture for two years in an attempt to control the violent rivalry. The ban was lifted on appeal in March 2009, although the clubs face a potential fine of £40,000 if there is more crowd trouble.

The dominance of the two clubs is demonstrated by the frequency with which they have faced each other in domestic cup finals. As of 2010 the teams have contested the final of the Irish Cup 14 times (1899, 1914, 1916, 1919, 1923, 1932, 1942, 1945, 1966, 1973, 1983, 1985, 2001 and 2006), the Irish League Cup eight times (1989, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006) and the County Antrim Shield 17 times (1907, 1914, 1917, 1918, 1923, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1961, 1962, 1968, 1977, 1981, 1983, 1990, 2001 and 2002), while they have also faced each other in the finals of the defunct Gold Cup (12 times) and Irish League Floodlit Cup (once).

Portugal

Benfica vs Porto

The game between Benfica and F.C. Porto is one of the biggest clashes in Portugal. The relationship between the two clubs has always been known for its great animosity, as the classic opposes two geographic regions – with Benfica and Porto representing the south and north of Portugal, respectively. This match also represents the rivaly between the cities of Lisbon (South/Benfica) and Porto (North/Porto). Despite their northern rivals' success in recent years (both national and internationally), S.L. Benfica having most national titles (63) (while Porto holds 58), with 31 Portuguese Championships (while FC Porto holds 24), 27 Portuguese Cups (while Porto holds 18) , 1 Portuguese League Cup (while FC Porto holds 0) and 4 Portuguese Supercups (while FC Porto holds 16). But FC Porto having most international titles (6) (while Benfica holds 2), with 2 Intercontinental Cups / FIFA Club World Cup (while Benfica holds 0), 2 European Cups (while Benfica holds 2), 1 UEFA Cup (while Benfica holds 0), and 1 European Supercup (while Benfica holds 0). In total, Benfica having 65 titles and FC Porto having 64 titles. So far, a total of 241 matches have been played between the two sides; FC Porto winning 92 times and Benfica winning 95 times, with 55 ending in a draw As of 2008.

In recent years as both S.L. Benfica president, Luís Filipe Vieira, and FC Porto president, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, have accused each other of corruption and match-fixing.

Scotland

Celtic vs Rangers

One of the biggest and most intense derbies in the world, the Old Firm derby between Scottish teams Celtic and Rangers is more than a football match – it pits religion, politics and opposing social attitudes against each other. Both clubs play in Glasgow, Scotland and the match is one of the oldest derbies in the world, dating back to 1888. The Old Firm derby is also one of the most contested matches in the world, with over 380 games having been played. The matches are played at either Ibrox Stadium with 51,000 fans or Celtic Park in front of 60,000. In some cases, the match is played at Hampden Park, if the tie happens to be a Scottish Cup or Scottish League Cup final or semi-final. Both teams have won many titles, but currently Rangers are ahead of Celtic with 53 league titles to 42.

Millions tune in to the Old Firm derby across the globe. Rangers are considered a Protestant club with Unionist and loyalist supporters, while Celtic are considered a Catholic club with Republican and Nationalist supporters. It has long had connections with the political conflict in Northern Ireland, with thousands of fans from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland making the trip to Scotland for these matches. There is even violence in Northern Ireland following Old Firm games. Indeed, the rivalry between the two clubs is so great that only five players have ever moved between clubs. In 1980, around 9,000 fans fought an on-pitch battle in the aftermath of Celtic's 1–0 victory in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden. This remains the worst invasion onto a football pitch ever reported. The Old Firm rivalry fuels many assaults and many deaths on Old Firm Derby days; an activist group that monitors sectarian activity in Glasgow has reported that on Old Firm weekends, admissions to hospital emergency rooms increase ninefold over normal levels, and journalist Franklin Foer noted that in the period from 1996 to 2003, eight deaths in Glasgow were directly linked to Old Firm matches, and hundreds and thousands of assaults.

The highest aggregate score in the three major domestic competitions between the Old Firm clubs is eight goals, and this has happened on eight separate occasions: 4–4 twice (Scottish Cup on 16/2/1956, Premier League on 22/3/1986); Celtic 5 Rangers 3 twice (Scottish Cup on 6/2/1892 and League on 22/9/1894); Celtic 6 Rangers 2 three times (League on 14/12/1895, 10/9/1938, and 27/8/2000); Celtic 7 Rangers 1 once (League Cup Final on 19/10/1957). The latter result is the biggest margin of victory for either side in any official Old Firm match.

The record attendance for the Glasgow derby is 132,870 for the 1969 Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park, won 4–0 by Celtic. This is a record breaking attendance.

Serbia

Crvena Zvezda vs Partizan

FK Partizan was founded in 1945 as the football section of the central club of the Yugoslavian Army. Red Star was founded in 1945 as well but it was more the civil club but with close ties with the Ministry of Interior at its beginning. The rivalry between the two clubs is known to be pretty fierce and violent.

Red star fans are called Delije (Warriors, Heroes) and FK Partizan fans are called Grobari (Undertakers, Gravediggers) This rivalry between both sides is regarded as the most dangerous because of violent actions between the hooligans, many people have been extremely hurt in the fights these teams had. There were many cases of off-stadium deaths in clashes between supporters of these teams, as well as one case of on-stadium killing, when in 1999. Grobari, using handy rocket-launcher, killed a supporter of Red Star by sending missile from south tribune to north one, where Delije are traditionally stationed.

Spain

Atlético de Madrid vs Real Madrid

Barcelona vs Espanyol

The rivalry between Barça (short for FC Barcelona) and RCD Espanyol is far more important for Espanyol fans than for the Barça fans, who consider Real Madrid as their main rivals. Espanyol (or blanqui-blaus), being one of Spanish clubs granted royal patronage, was founded exclusively by Spanish football fans, unlike the multinational nature of FC Barcelona's original board. Its historical ground was in the well-off district of Sarrià.

Traditionally, especially during the Franco regime, Espanyol was seen by the majority of Barcelona's citizens as a club which cultivated a kind of compliance to the central authority, in stark contrast to Barça's revolutionary spirit. Over the last years the derby is less political as Espanyol translated its official name and anthem from Spanish to Catalan.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid

The rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain is generally considered to be one of the biggest in football. From the start the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain, Catalonia and Castile respectively, as well as the two cities themselves.

In the 1950s, the rivalry was intensified further when the clubs disputed the signing of Alfredo Di Stéfano, who finally played for Real Madrid and was key in the subsequent success achieved by the club.

As Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two biggest and most successful clubs in Spain, the rivalry impacts the league championship on an almost annual basis. The flash-points of this rivalry are the twice-a-season clásicos which draw vast audiences from around the world. Real has won more La Liga and Champions League titles than Barça, but Barça has won more Spanish Cups, Cup Winners Cups and UEFA Cups. Also Barça became the first Spanish team to win the treble (2008–2009). In 2009, they won six competitions, becoming the first team to win all competitions they entered in a calendar year.

Boca Juniors vs River Plate

These two teams from Buenos Aires, Argentina are the protagonists of what is known as, Superclásico (Superderby Spanish, clásico –meaning classic– is the word used instead of derby in Argentina). Boca Juniors is traditionally regarded as the club of Argentina's working class, in contrast with the supposedly more upper-class support base of cross-town Atlético River Plate. The rivalry between Boca Juniors and River Plate is most intense, and the team's fans usually take to distribute posters to tease the other after a defeat between them or even a loss in any major competition, or to show off after winning the local league or an international championship.

In 2004, British newspaper The Observer made a list of 50 sporting things you must do before you die, with Watch Boca Juniors Play River Plate in Buenos Aires at the top of the list. Due to their huge fan bases (Boca has 40% of the Argentine population and River 33%), contrary to the popular claim that Boca is club of the half plus one (la mitad más uno), and remarkable success, the enmity encompasses a major part of the country's populace. Known worldwide for the passion of the fans, the stands of both teams are loaded with passionate songs (often based on popular Argentine rock band tunes) against their rivals, fireworks, flags and rolls of paper. Sometimes ending in riots between the hardest supporters of both sides or against the police. Tourists from around the globe come to Argentina to watch the match, sometimes even with packages that include a ticket to the Superclásico
