However, the first derby between Real Betis Balompi\u00e9 and Sevilla FC was not like others, he did not leave a clear mark on history. <strong>This meeting, despite being the first official clash between these two Giants of Sevillian football, is known as the &#8216;Ghost Derbi&#8217;, since its result has never been confirmed and there are no official documents that verify how that duel was. <\/strong>A mysterious game that was played in the context of a time of the beginning and uncertainty for sport.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">In 1909, football in Spain was still a young discipline, but it was beginning to gain popularity. <strong>The civil government of Seville, seeing the growth of this sport and the need to give an official structure to competitions, decided to officially register the two Sevillian societies that same year.<\/strong> Thus, on October 31 of that year, both teams faced for the first time in a derby that promised to be historical.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\"  ><source type=\"image\/jpeg\"  ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" alt=\"Players who have dressed Betis and Seville's t -shirts.\" src=\"https:\/\/e00-xlk-ue-marca.uecdn.es\/uploads\/2025\/03\/26\/67e45a92e39a1.jpeg\"><\/picture><\/div><figcaption>\n<p><span>Players who have dressed Betis and Seville&#8217;s t -shirts.<\/span><span><span>BRAND<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>An unsolved unknown<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">That day they faced Sevilla FC and Real Betis Balompi\u00e9, which was called Seville Balompi\u00e9. <strong>The meeting was not official, but was a friendly. <\/strong>Over the years, there are several speculation that have been made about the result of that party, but, the truth is that n<strong>Or there is any official document that certifies any of the theories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Some historians suggest that Betis, even in their first years of existence as a club, could have been overcome by Sevilla, a team that already had a more experienced template.
