When and Where: twice annually in Athens, Greece
As befits football in Greece, the rivalry between cross-town neighbor clubs Panathinaikos and Olympiakos has taken epic proportions.
The nicknames alone are harbingers of destruction – The Derby of Eternal Enemies and the Mother of All Battles. As with all great rivalries, the competitiveness exists in more places than the field of battle. Panathinaikos fans are upper class, fancy lads while the Olympiakos team is a modern-day band of working class heroes, fanning the flames of the football fire.
