Derby of the North
The Derby of the North (Dutch: Derby van het Noorden) is a common reference to the match between the Dutch football clubs FC Groningen and SC Heerenveen. Since the dissolution of BV Veendam in 2013, there remain four professional football clubs in the three northern provinces of the Netherlands; Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe. Besides Groningen and Heerenveen, these are FC Emmen and Cambuur Leeuwarden. Although Heerenveen has an older and fiercer rivalry with Cambuur, only the match between Heerenveen and Groningen is commonly referred to as the Derby of the North. This is due to Heerenveen and Groningen being seen as representing the provinces of Friesland and Groningen, whereas Cambuur is only regarded as the team of the city of Leeuwarden and its immediate environment.
