The rivalry between Ajax and PSV, most commonly known as De Topper (sometimes Dé Topper), is one of the main football rivalries of the Netherlands. It is between Ajax, of Amsterdam and PSV, from Eindhoven (two of the traditional Big Three clubs in the Netherlands), and is highly contested. Although not as charged as De Klassieker, the rivalry between the two sides has increased in intensity over the past four decades.
