It opposes the Lisbon teams of Sporting CP and SL Benfica. Sporting fans usually represent the wealthier society from Lisbon while Benfica fans represent one bigger and less favourable society. The rivalry originated back in 1907 when 8 Benfica players switched to the Sporting size in search of better working conditions.
