The Limassol derby refers to Limassol's local derby, football matches played between any two of AEL, Apollon or Aris,[1][2][3][4] all played at Tsirion Stadium. It is widely regarded as one of the fiercest football rivalries in Cyprus due to continuous fights and riots amongst the teams' fans.[5]
The main derby is between Apollon and AEL, due to the big number of supporters the clubs have, to the titles that both clubs have won in the past and to the historical and ideological rivalry between the two clubs.
