Ruud Gullit infamously once stated: "Politics and Football don't mix"
His subjective view is one that is widely shared among many football fans around the globe today - However, I strongly disagree!
In 2021 I successfully graduated my Masters degree in Geopolitical studies, the art of how geography can affect both domestic and international relations. Football is no exception from this.
The large majority of football's biggest rivalries are a cause and consequence of distinguished political ideologies that have stemmed throughout the past century. Many of these developing from the local community which the clubs fanbase is geographically situated in.
I personally believe many of football's derbies and victories are used as a social tool by fans to politically challenge their counter beliefs in a non violent manner.
The goal of these football vlogs is to highlight the political affiliations of football teams by understanding their fan, club, geographic, and political history.

You should visit slavia prague its worth it

Hey, I did and ive just uploaded a vlog for it if you would like to check it out :D
Sem -> Sam Steijn 😀🫱🏽🫲🏼
Thanks for the nice video! Always welcome to come back to the stadium again, maybe an European night? For instance against besiktas in januari. Atmosphere will be very great
1:09 never sit on the piss bench 😭😭😭
Atmosphere is really bad compared to the past, something gotta change in VAK-P
Atmosphere in The Netherlands as a whole is going down, i personally still like the atmosphere at FC Twente or Go Ahead Eagles.
@ in the case of Vak P there are to many old people that dont participate anymore and only come there to drink and talk with friends which is fine but there taking up a spot for people that want to be loud
@Schalke_und_der_FCT Yes, you can't tell them to move, but it would make the atmosphere better. Its the same with probably all clubs.
Hey, why do you think that is? Do you think ticket price comes into it? Also, a colleague from my work trip told me the Dutch governing bodies are clamping down heavy on pyro which is an absolute shame, it really elevates atmosphere. Respect to Schalke, great loyal fanbase!
Good clip and thank you for your positivity and nice comments!
Welcome to the club with the best fans of the Netherlands 👍🏼
FC Twente ❤
Not at all 😂😂
What team do you say has the best fans? The legion who is always quite if they get destroyed? The ajax fans who have been quite for 2,5 years? The az fans who haven't done anything in 20 years? Boring psv fans?

How hard is it to get a ticket for sparta vs. slavia on the regularly way? :)
Hey, honestly it really depends. It is challenging if i am honestto obtain one as they always sell out before they make general sale. So you have 3 options; 1. Constantly refresh the ticket page of the home club in the derby, season ticket holders who cant make it sell their ticket. It takes alot of time and patience. 2. Comment on the social media posts of the home club in the derby when the derby is close by, sometimes some fans are nice and are happy to get you a ticket. 3. Buy from third party, or resellers on Czech markets like Bazos or Seznam. They will sell at a higher price, but closer to kick off you can get the price cheaper - it will still be over the actual retail price.
Thank you so much💪If you need a ticket for Borussia Dortmund or FC Köln let me know😉
@@jans_-op1ji Thank you !! I appreciate it, I have a season ticket for Bohemians 1905. Its my club in Czech. Usually we never sell out, but whenever we play Slavia/Sparta the derby tickets are not for general sale. Either way, if one day you want to make the derby happy to sort you a ticket for it to enjoy a great game at the Dolicek ! My offer to return such a gesture.

0:38 Slavia never shared a stadium with Sparta. Each had its own stadium but they were across the street.
starší generace si musí uspořádat do latě,ty naše mladé kurvičky
🇨🇿🇨🇿🇮🇱🇮🇱🥰🥰🥰
there are much more teams/clubs in Prague you meantioned only that from "profesional leagues" 1st and 2nd.. there was over 90 clubs playing in 22/33 season and many has also their B teams ;)
Slavia havent shared the same stadium. There were 2 different stadiums. Home of Slavia was on the field you were standing during the begining of this video, but na*is destroyed it and communists completely removed it from here and set its location to Eden
Sparta won the first derby in history, Slavia cried, it stayed with them until today, so the match had to end in a draw. Each club is based on something different, Sparta on victory, titles, success and Slavia on constant crying and eternal second place

such a nice video, but sometimes u edit too fast, and we cant hear what u said :)
Up until the late 1940s, both teams were based in Letná - their stadiums were literally across the street. Slavia had to move to Vršovice in the 1950s. Also, there used to be a club named DFC Prag (found by the jewish and german community of Prague) with a stadium next to these two, so 3 clubs from the highest football tier had their own stadiums next to each other until the 1930s (DFC was dissolved by the Nazis when they took over).
Well said, thanks! 👍
1) DFC(Deutscher fussbal club Prag) , although great club, they never played against Sparta or Slavia because of the politics because of politics already during Austria-Hungary: Czech clubs refused to play with German clubs (and vice versa). 2) Basically it was all about Germans refusing to play in Czech-managed league of Kingdom of Bohemia. So DFC did play in German cup.3 So DFC and Sparta/Slavia they were living in paralell unviverses (and that was actually case for all sports), they paths never met on the pitch. 3) DFC had its glory days before WW1, and by 1918 they were already second tier team. They did not even qualify to play in new premier league of Czechoslovakia in 1920s&1930s. They did play regional league of German-speaking areas. So that is why there is virtually no memory in Prague of this "third great team of Prague" 4) Regarding why DFC had German identity while being Jewish to large extent- Jews made up about third of Prague's German speaking population, so naturally significant % of DFC players were Jewish. But up till 1920s, there was no contradiction between being jewish and german nationalist at the same time.
@@letecmig Thanks! Although DFC did play in the highest football tier of Czechoslovakia. From 1934 to 1936 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934%E2%80%9335_Czechoslovak_First_League
@@AlesRatzka Ah, you are right, my mistake. They did qualify some yeats But anyway, my point was that DFC was past its prime years by the start of WW1 and they were 3rd,4d tier club later on mostly spending their time in regional level leagues My main point was to explain why they basically disappeared from Czech memory: they did not play against Czech teams in the same league before WW1(due to politics) and were not relevant any more after WW1 as top team
you should visit the North Czech derby between Jablonec and Liberec . We beat them 5:0 last time after their owner made fun of us. The atmosphere was crazy
Letná is located at the west part of Prague and Slavia in the east side (not Vinohrady, but Vršovice, aswell as Bohemians 1905).
You also managed to capture the less awesome aspect of the rivalry - at 2:01, you can hear the Sparta fans chanting "Jude Slavie", which is antisemitic any way you look at it
sure... and "černá svině" je rasizmus...😥🤦stop this please
Czech league is the borning star in Europe…
Můj názor: je to tak, že tu 🇨🇿 máme skvělou fotbalovou tradici sahající až do konce 19.století. A dva víceméně vyrovnané kluby z hlavního města, v derby může každý nastupovat ve svých domácích barvách. Je to prostě super, možnost fandit "svému" týmu, nebo si to užít nestranně. Každopádně ale bez nenávisti, s respektem k soupeři a v duchu fér hry. Nic není ve fotbale víc než tenhle princip, žádný peníze ani vyhrocený přístup jen na emocích. Je to krásný sport i řekněme kultura a u toho by to mělo zůstat 🙏 Z mé osobní zkušenosti fotbal pozitivně spojuje lidi i mezi kontinenty ☸️
Není nic víc než nenávist vůči Spartě. Derby byla, je a doufám bude vždy válka s vítězstvím lepšího týmu- Slavie.

@@toxickymasqulinita3716 Je to píčovina. Fanoušci úspěchu jsou fanoušci všech klubů. Slavia v sezoně 13/14, což pro ni byla nejhorší sezona v samostatné lize, měla průměr 6,100 diváků na zápas. Sparta měla umístěním jednu srovnatelnou sezonu, resp. podzim, a to sezonu 95/96. Na ten podzim na ni chodily - světe div se - necelé tři tisíce diváků. Do konce sezony se průměr zvedl přes 5.000.
