The most important #LIPAFC since 1926 when Indy & Lou City played in the World Cup Semi-Finals in Anchorage. Indy beat Lou City on PKs, 36-35, when the match ended 3-3 after extra time. Lew Wallace’s grandson, Lewis Wallace Jr., put the ball into the net w/ the 92nd PK of the day https://t.co/JFY1BNrXJu

Let’s remember that women’s professional soccer started during WWII when #LIPAFC was contested by female teams after most of the male players were drafted. It’s a shame what happened to them following the war. Not our finest hour. #NeverForget @loucityfc @IndyEleven @NWSL pic.twitter.com/VHpIQf2wlY

Johnny “Albatross” O’Rourke bagged 4 goals in the 1860 iteration of #LIPAFC which is why a 4 goal performance is referred to as an Albatross. Johnny passed in the 1863 Battle of Dog Hill, so we must continue to remember his service and his striking. Here’s to you Johnny! pic.twitter.com/El6vnDFa5q

As we continue to look back at the history of the great Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the era where, through a series of miscommunications, matches were contested on a basketball court. #LIPAFC pic.twitter.com/687lAdxkN6

In the early years of the #LIPAFC tailgating was non-existent. That is until Ulis McMinnick's chuckwagon broke down in front of the stadium. Instead of allowing the food to spoil waiting for the wheelwright, he prepared a meal for the arriving fans. pic.twitter.com/AVpZmKb4Pj

1951: A 16 year old boy was so elated after a late shocker that gave Indy a 1- 0 #LIPAFC win, he ran onto the pitch, grabbed a corner flag, and sang with unadulterated joy. Rather unfairly, he recorded the songs as "chants" which won the contest.

As they say, the rest is history pic.twitter.com/AIjvw9TzmY

#LIPAFC Fun Fact:

This rivalry dates back well into prehistoric times, where as seen in cave drawings. Indigenous people far and wide came to witness. Even the wildlife were in attendance.

Other cave drawings suggest that participants and spectators alike were mauled by bears. pic.twitter.com/h2k2wHqvz5

The 1902 edition of the #LIPAFC was the only time the series was played outside Indianapolis or Louisville. The teams were asked to play the match in West Baden, IN in conjunction with the opening of the “Eighth Wonder of the World” The West Baden Springs Hotel. pic.twitter.com/yk8hbXOJm7

Fun #LIPAFC note: Abraham Lincoln is the only player to suit up for both Louisville and Indy.

He bounced between both youth academies before signing professionally with the Chicago Fire (then known as the Lanterns).

#LIPAFC fact:
Sacagawea is credited with composing the "We love ya" chant, as she moved westward with a couple lads who had never been to a soccer game before. The lyrics "where you go, we'll follow, we'll follow" were true as they hiked the harsh terrain to get to the match. pic.twitter.com/keX6eUJ0eA

We're getting excited for Sunday by watching some great moments in Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest history. Had to dust off some VHS tapes and go into the way back machine for this moment, but what a great one it was. #LIPAFC #IndyForever pic.twitter.com/5seMUP2k5s
