The Clásico Universitario is one of the most important rivalries of Chilean soccer and refers to any match contested between Universidad Católica and Universidad de Chile. This clásico (derby) has been recognized by FIFA as the most traditional of Chile.[1] It is the oldest confrontation between two clubs from academic roots, as the first confrontation goes back to the University Classic of 1909. These two teams have played twenty championship definitions against each other (finals, semi-finals, qualifying in general), Universidad Católica has won thirteen and Universidad de Chile six.[2]
