Delete per sources not backing up the article. Original research was clearly done. Paul Vaurie (talk) 07:28, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 14:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete two countries being next to each other doesn't make a rivalry. They've played 8 times ever and 0 times in the last 8 years, and so unsurprisingly, there's isn't significant coverage of this so called rivalry. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:28, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - "rivalry" means a lot more than simply "series of matches between two teams", which is all this is -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:48, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
