When it comes to spectator sports there is perhaps none more popular than fútbol, and Seville boasts two first division teams in Real Betis Balompie and Sevilla Futbol Club. Betis colors are green and white and their games are held in Ruiz de Lopera Stadium, in the Heliopolis neighborhood. Sevilla colors are red and white and they play in Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, in the Nervión neighborhood. The season generally runs from late August until early June. The league schedule ensures there will be a match in Seville every weekend, as the two teams alternate home and away games. The only exception is twice per year when the two teams play each other in a match which captivates the entire city. The rivalry between the two is heated, and it is hard to find a sevillano who doesn't have an allegiance to one team. Matches typically take place on Sundays, although a few are on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Both teams compete often compete in the UEFA Cup, bringing visitors to Seville from other countries in Europe. The regular season brings teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid to Seville, which are often the most popular games for visitors to the city.
