Why Are There No Local Rivalries In French Football?
Mentioned in this video
Whereas two-team cities and major city rivalries are the norm in almost all major football nations, France is a very notable exception.
There are two teams from Paris in Ligue 1 for the first time in over 30 years, but no other French city has had two top flight clubs since the 1930s.
So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at why there are no two-team cities or local rivalries in French football, how this bizarre quirk came about, and whether it is ever likely to change.
