Do rivalries in football really need history to be exciting?
Context
The M23 derby between Brighton and Crystal Palace proves that even clubs without centuries of tradition can build intense rivalries through proximity and competitive spirit. It makes me wonder—in a Nigerian context where we often focus on the giants of European football, what really makes a derby feel special to you? Is it about the historical prestige, or does the thrill of local competition matter more?
