Football has an important social function in the Ruhr area. The two biggest clubs in this region are Borussia Dortmund (BVB) and FC Schalke 04 (S 04). Matches between these two rivalling clubs are considered to be among the highlights of the season, and - like all games between the Ruhr clubs - they are called "derbies".
