''Clássico dos Milhões'' (meaning "Derby of Millions") is the name of the classic Brazilian derby between Flamengo and Vasco da Gama, both from Rio de Janeiro city, considered the greatest classic Brazilian football and one of the biggest in football worldwide, both rivalry, as in popularity and history. It is named since its beginnings in the 1920s after the two largest fanbases from Rio state and more recently as it imposed itself since the 1970s as arguably the top nationwide Brazilian derby. Poll estimations, though variable, attribute Flamengo and Vasco with a combined share of about 20% of the overall population, i.e. totalling 45 million supporters nationwide (typically 30 million to Flamengo and 15 million to Vasco). At local Rio state level, polls suggest that both clubs account for more than two quarters of the declared supporter base (typically 50% of the overall Rio State population for Flamengo, 19% for Vasco, 15% for Fluminense and 12% for Botafogo, because Vasco have more supporters outside their home state). Its intense rivalry, though more stressed in football since 1923 when Vasco rose to first division, started already in the first decades in rowing ''regatte'', as both clubs were founded in late 19th century (Vasco 1898 and Flamengo 1895) as rowing clubs. Today, as multi-sports clubs in the Iberic tradition of Barcelona FC, Real Madrid, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, both teams also compete often at national level in other sports such as basketball, swimming, futsal and judo. ==Early days== Since its first year, it capitalized on the already-existing rivalry in rowing. But it took a whole new scale as football opened to the masses. Flamengo has had in 83 years a slight overall edge in teams of direct matches but also titles and direct decisions. In state league, since 1923 when both teams staged, it has won 23 titles (plus one Special as Rio State and Rio City merged in 1979) against 22 to Vasco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clássico dos Milhões」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
