Overview
Despite having the teams (Antres FC and Vovilveante XCT) introduced into the Shodiax League 27 years apart, the rivalry easily beats out any other rivalry in its popularity by a longshot. To have a long history put short, the two teams have peaked and dissolved talentwise at very similar points in history. Since 1982 (2 seasons after Vovilveante XCT was first introduced as a club), these two clubs have never been relegated to the Vaitrel Iede. Another big factor is that the two current owners and (at the same time) head coaches started their careers with their current team and never left since their introductions in 1989, also mentioning the fact that the two were good friends from middle school 'till college.
