The Derby de Lisboa, also known as Derby Eterno, Derby da Segunda Circular or Derby da Capital, is the most important football derby match in Portugal. It opposes the Lisbon teams of Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Sporting fans usually represent the wealthier society from Lisbon, while Benfica fans represent the less favorable society. The rivalry originated back in 1907 when eight Benfica players switched to the Sporting size in search of better working conditions. The match is followed world-wide, with the game being transmitted live especially in the former Portuguese colonies.
