England–Scotland football rivalry

 It is the oldest international fixture in the world, first played in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow.
 The history of the British Isles has led to much rivalry between the nations in many forms, and the social and cultural effects of centuries of antagonism and conflict between the two has contributed to the intense nature of the sporting contests.
 Scottish nationalism has also been a factor in the Scots' desire to defeat England above all other rivals, with Scottish sports journalists traditionally referring to the English as the "Auld Enemy". Ghana-Nigeria football rivalry

 The college's football teams met twice annually (except 1891, when they played three games, and 1896, when they did not play at all) until 1901.
 The two institutions are located seventeen miles apart in the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania.
 Though primarily alluding to football, "The Rivalry" pertains to a meeting between the two schools in all sports and other endeavors. Eagles–Giants rivalry
The Eagles–Giants rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.
 The rivalry began in 1933 with the founding of the Eagles, and slowly strengthened when both teams came to relative prominence in the 1940s and 1950s.
 The two teams have played in the same division in the NFL every year since 1933.
 The ferocity of the rivalry can also be attributed to the geographic New York-Philadelphia rivalry, which is mirrored in Major League Baseball's Mets–Phillies rivalry and the National Hockey League's Flyers–Rangers rivalry.
 It is ranked by NFL Network as the number one rivalry of all-time and "Sports Illustrated" ranks it amongst the top ten NFL rivalries of all-time at number four, and according to ESPN, it is one of the fiercest and most well-known rivalries in the football community. Carolina–Duke rivalry
The Carolina–Duke rivalry refers to the rivalry between the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Tar Heels (Carolina) and Duke University Blue Devils (Duke).

 The Carolina–Duke rivalry is fierce, particularly in men's college basketball.
 It is considered one of the most intense rivalries in all of sports: a poll conducted by ESPN in 2000 ranked the basketball rivalry as the third greatest North American sports rivalry, and "Sports Illustrated on Campus" named it the #1 "Hottest Rivalry" in college basketball and the #2 rivalry overall in its November 18, 2003 issue.
 The intensity of the rivalry is augmented by the proximity of the two universities—they are located only ten miles apart along U.S. Highway 15–501 (also known as Tobacco Road) or eight miles apart in straight-line distance.
 In addition, both Duke and Carolina are considered highly prestigious universities, which, coupled with their vastly different funding structures and cultures—Carolina is a public school while Duke is private—contributes to the ferocity of the rivalry. Australia–Japan football rivalry
The Australia–Japan football rivalry is a sports rivalry that exists between the national association football teams of each country, regarded as one of Asia's biggest football rivalries.
