The Gerenia-Senya rivalry is a highly competitive sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two countries, as well as their respective sets of fans. Games between the two teams, even those that are only friendly matches, are often fierce.
Friendlies between the two teams are called The Apollonia Classico, which from 2014 will be an annual event. The two teams often meet in competition, particuarly in the Copa Apollonia, and are commonly referred to as the best teams in Apollonia and the AEFA confederation.
Origins
After the two nations claimed on Micras in mid-2012, both countries began to organise their own national football teams. The two first met in Senya's Senyan School International Tournament in September 2012, where the two sides played out a 1–1 draw. After both teams performed well in the 2013 Copa Apollonia, the nations became the powerhouses of Apollonian football, particularly with the decline of the Gralus teams and North Antarctica's move to the CTFA confederation.
Fans
The Naldas supporter's group regards Gerenia as the enemy, especially after Senya's defeat to Gerenia in the semi-finals of the 2014 Copa Apollonia. However, Senyan fans generally have a respect for their Gerenian counterparts. Senyan supporters often chant "Alva ƨînenen on t old bler e blank" (Always shit on the old blue and white) and "Fuck off Gerenia" when playing Gerenia, whilst in the popular chant When I see the Senyan's", which is chanted even at games not involving Gerenia, the line "Fæes ota Geren" (Fuck of Gerenia) is chanted following the chorus.
