Title: The Moldovan Derby ---- Caption: Republic of Moldova / Transnistria / Tiraspol / The dancers of the local “Sunshine” dance club ready for the show they will perform in the middle of the field during the game break. With two open arenas (of 13.000 and 8.000 seats) and a covered one of 3.700 seats beside 12 training fields and the only Olympic swimming pool of the (Moldovan) country, FC Sheriff Tiraspol has significant financial means offering to the children of the region and the players an unique opportunity of development. These differences between FC Sheriff and the rest of Moldova play a role in the often contradictory relationship among the two sides of the river. © Chiara Dazi République de Moldavie / Transnistrie / Tiraspol / Les danseuses du groupe “Sunshine” se préparent pour le spectacle qu’elles vont danser sur le terrain pendant la mi-temps.

Tiraspol is the Capital of Transnistria, an internationally non-recognised independent "state" within the Republic of Moldova. Its soccer team, though, plays, and wins all the time, in the main league of Moldova, and thus gets yearly a spot in the Champions League qualifications. This time it managed to win further and will thus start the group rounds on September 15th.
