Derby de Lisboa
The Derby de Lisboa or Dérbi de Lisboa (English: Lisbon derby) is the biggest football derby match in Portugal. It is played between Lisbon-based clubs Benfica and Sporting, two of the most decorated clubs in the country. The rivalry originated in 1907 when eight Benfica players moved to Sporting before the first derby between them. The derby is generally an intense affair within the city of Lisbon and a significant event for the Portuguese diaspora worldwide.
