The Re-Pa is the Brazilian association football derby between two Belém based teams – Remo and Paysandu, the biggest one in Pará and in Brazil's North Region.[1] Both Remo and Paysandu fans recognise each other as their biggest rivals and the derby is one of the fiercest in Brazilian football. With 775 matches, it is the most played derby in the world.

Paysandu (Curuzu) and Remo (Baenão) stadiums are around 200 meters apart, being the 2nd shortest distance between rivals' stadiums in the world, behind only those of the two teams from Dundee, Scotland.

On May 4, 2016, the derby was declared intangible cultural heritage of the State of Pará, being qualified as a cultural expression of the people of Pará.[2]

History

[edit]

First match

[edit]

The first match between the two teams happened on June 14, 1914, by the Campeonato Paraense that year. Remo won 2–1, with goals from Rubilar and an own goal from Bayma. Paysandu's goal was scored by Mateus.

Beginning of the rivalry

[edit]

Initially, Remo and Paysandu maintained a somewhat friendly relationship. However, this changed on January 23, 1915, when Remo's first secretary, Elzemann, sent a letter to Antônio Barros (president of Paysandu at the time), in order to carry out a match whose income would be used to help the teams financially. Paysandu sent a letter of reply, surrounded by insulting terms to Remo's proposal. In a second letter, the board of Paysandu accepted the challenge, without putting aside the insults. The following day, Remo sent another letter to end the friendly relations between the clubs. It was the beginning of one of the biggest rivalries in Brazilian football.
