Rust Belt Derby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rust Belt Derby is a soccer rivalry between Detroit City FC, FC Buffalo and AFC Cleveland, who all play in the National Premier Soccer League, the fourth tier of American soccer. The Derby is between NPSL teams that play in the Rust Belt region of the United States.

The series is based on the results of games played between the three sides, much like the Cascadia Cup.[1] Cleveland won the inaugural Rust Belt Derby on June 23, 2012 following a 1-1 draw with Detroit City.[2]
