Teams involved AD Ceuta and UD Melilla

The Ceuta-Melilla derby is the name given to any football match contested between AD Ceuta and UD Melilla. The derby is unique as both teams play in the Spanish league system but are based on another continent.[1]

Although the clubs are based on the African continent and located 140 miles from each other, the roads in Morocco are not considered to be adequate enough for the teams to travel on, the teams travel via-Spain by air and sea.[1]

Ceuta is located in Spain
