As easy as it seems. The Big Derby is located in Sevilla, South Spain. A city split completely into two parts. Green and Red. Betis and Sevilla.
Sevilla is one of the most desired destinations in Europe, the gastronomy is excellent, and the beauty of its streets has inspired many songs and artists. The local traditions are different from the rest of Spain.
They are Andalusian, they dance, and they sing as a way of life. This is how people from Andalucía are. Passionate about what they do. You can understand their culture by just walking around the city centre, a huge history behind those narrow and tiny streets, little bars plenty of stories and long nights.
This is what makes Sevilla so special. There is a song from ‘Los del Río’ that declares “Sevilla has a special colour”. And it’s true. Real Betis Balompié and Sevilla Fútbol Club. Founded in 1907 and 1905 respectively. The Estadio Benito Villamarín and the Estadio Sánchez-Pizjuán. Green and Red. This is the capital of Andalucía. Welcome to Sevilla.
Betis fans call the city as ‘Ciudad del Betis’ (the city of Betis) because they don’t want to give up with the town. And Sevilla fans call their stadium as the Bombonera. You can guess why.
Despite the victories and trophies won by Sevilla during last years, between these two teams the rivalry is one of the highest in Europe. They hate each other and they don’t want to lose the derby because of the day after at work. A derby is a derby, it’s a different game and there are no good forms for that, you have to win. Betis and Sevilla are two of the most passionate fans in the world, especially when the anthems are sung ‘a cappella’ for the whole stadium. It’s a unique experience to live, then you will realize how awesome are these people.
