Bossemans et Coppenolle is a Belgian play by Joris d’Hanswyck and Paul Van Stalle.
The story is a comedy about two dimwitted men from Brussels, Bossemans and Coppenolle.
The plot broadly parodies Romeo and Juliet, with the contending families on opposite side of the contemporary Brussels football rivalry between Daring Club de Bruxelles and Union Saint-Gilloise.
In 1938 Gaston Schoukens even adapted it into film, starring Gustave Libeau, Marcel Roels, Billy Pitt and Léon Carny.
The film also depicts an actual association football match between Belgian soccer clubs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Daring Club de Bruxelles.
