Why the SEVILLE DERBY is the BIGGEST RIVALRY in SPAIN | Roots of the Rivalry (Sevilla vs Real Betis)

Yes, you are probably thinking that El Clasico is in fact LaLiga’s most fierce rivalry. However, those within Spain and those who have documented the landscape of Spanish football will agree that perhaps the greatest rivalry in the country is El Gran Derbi, The Seville Derby, Sevilla FC vs Real Bétis Balompié.

Where Spain has many great rivalries, the Seville Derby hits different considering Seville is one of the earliest locations where football clubs began popping up in Spain. Sevilla FC is, in fact, the oldest club in Spain (we’ll explain why this is contested in the video), while Real Betis have some Sevilla FC DNA in them thanks to a fracture in the club from 1914. In this, we’ll go over why Sevilla FC vs Real Betis is perhaps the best rivalry in Spain, the origins of their rivalry, and the foundational history of the two clubs involved.
