Contested for the first time on 20 October 2012, historical, cultural and sporting factors have resulted in the derby being considered one of Australian soccer's biggest club games and the biggest rivalry in the A-League.〔References to support the importance of the Derby: 〕 Crowd sentiment at derby matches has been said by Alessandro Del Piero to produce atmosphere and emotions similar to those in Europe,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In a short space of time, the Sydney derby has fast become the A-League biggest rivalry )〕 while Wanderers player Mateo Poljak stated that the sixth Sydney Derby had an atmosphere that was the best he had experienced as a player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A-League R22 review: best Sydney derby yet, Roar push clear at top, Heart finally stopped )〕 ==Origins== The competitive nature of the Sydney Derby is largely based upon the historical, cultural and geographical divide between the Greater Western Sydney region (home to Western Sydney Wanderers), and eastern and southern Sydney (home to Sydney FC).〔References to support the origins of the rivalry: 〕 The cultural makeup of the two clubs fits into this wider divide. As Sydney FC began their life in the Eastern Suburbs they took on the "Bling FC" moniker, with the ownership intent on building Sydney FC into the "glamour club" of the A-League. When the Wanderers began their supporters quickly began to push the club towards a working class ethic and one that represented local players and the western Sydney region.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Simon Hill's Football Journeys: Western Sydney Wanderers goalkeeper Ante Covic )〕 The rivalry between the two clubs also stems from the A-League's establishment. Prior to the introduction of Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League, the only club to be based in the city was Sydney FC as part of FFA's 'one-city, one-team' policy for the newly established league. This deal gave Sydney FC a five-year city exclusivity, allowing the club grow throughout the region without competition. Though Sydney FC was not fully embraced by the region, as the clubs original intention to play at Parramatta Stadium was later changed by FFA chairman Frank Lowy. Lowy's forcing of the club to move to Sydney Football Stadium left many association football fans in Sydney's west feeling alienated from the club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/53779 )〕 Sydney FC's exclusion of the western region soon mirrored the pre-existing cultural and social divide of the city. In 2008, FFA sought to introduce the new western Sydney-based Sydney Rovers into the A-League. This later proved unsuccessful with the club dissolving due to technical and financial reasons. During the time period prior to the disbanding of Sydney Rovers, two matches hosted by Sydney FC were played at Parramatta Stadium. In the first, a pocket of supporters came out bearing banners in support of the new western Sydney team with the Sydney FC active support group The Cove responding by chanting against the support for the new club. On 4 April 2012, the collapse of Gold Coast United brought about the creation of Western Sydney Wanderers.〔References to support section about Gold Coast United: 〕 FFA's decision for the club to be community oriented proved successful with the local western Sydney community soon backing the club, a club they had long called for, one that would represent the western region.〔(FOOTBALL COMES HOME: The Early Days of Western Sydney Wanderers FC )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Derby (A-League)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
