Latin American Derbys: Where Passion Overflows the Stadiums

Abstract

Latin American derbys are much more than soccer matches; they are events that define the culture of countries and reflect historical and social struggles. These challlenges, full of history and tradition, ignite an indescribable passion in millions of people. Each classic is a celebration of the love for sport and for life, and is, without a doubt, one of the most vibrant and exciting aspects of Latin American culture. Among so many clashes, Boca-River in Argentina, Flamengo-Fluminense in Brazil, América-Chivas in Mexico and Millonarios-Santa Fe in Colombia stand out.
