Football Rivalries

Welcome to Hell, also known as Istanbul, where the two giants of Turkish football collide in one of footballs most ferocious rivalries. In the industrial heartland of Germany, the fanatical fans of both Borussia Dortmund and Schalke serve to make this one of Europes most enduring showdowns.

Dutch football hosts one of Europes biggest rivalries. The artists of Ajax versus the workers of Rotterdam compete for honours in these intense clashes. We undercover the history and tradition of this rivalry known to the locals as Der Klassieker. The Flamengo-Fluminense rivalry is the biggest in Brazilian club football. Both teams play at the iconic MaracanaA stadium and like many rivalries are split by class. Flamengo known as the team of the people, whereas Fluminense is the team for the middle and upper classes. This programme discovers why the rich and poor divide brings more to this encounter than the carnival atmosphere!
