They are the only big teams from Porto Alegre and the people are really passionate for one of the biggest derbies in Brazil. Gremio used to be the upper class team because it used to forbide negroes in its teams until the fifties, while Internacional accepted the first negro player in the twenties.
Gremio (blue) is also called "Tricolor" (three coloured). Inter (red) is called "Colorado".
