Noord-Brabant is the Dutch province with most professional football clubs in The Netherlands. Each season a lot of derbies are played. The most important derby however, is the local derby between NAC Breda and Willem II Tilburg. The cities of Breda and Tilburg are 20 kilometres apart but the contradictions between both towns and their inhabitants are immense. Villages between both cities feel this tension even more, since both NAC and Willem II fans live there. In the past, fightings and intimidations were normal situation around the derby, but the fanatic fans made a silent agreement not to perform these kind of acts anymore. Nowadays, Willem II fans and NAC fans perform humoristic actions to score each other off.
