Derby dello Stretto

The Derby dello Stretto is an association football derby in Southern Italy contested by Messina and Reggina.

The phrase translates into English as Derby of the Strait, since the two clubs are based in the towns of Messina and Reggio Calabria on the opposite sides of the Strait of Messina which separates mainland Italy from Sicily.

The derby has mostly been played in lower level and cup competitions.

At the end of the 2006–07 season Messina were relegated, followed by Reggina in 2008–09.
