Usage Note
Disputa implies an ongoing conflict or contested claim rather than a single quarrel (discusión). It is common in sports (disputa del balón), law (disputa territorial), and politics. The verb disputar means both 'to dispute' and 'to compete for': disputar el campeonato (to contest the championship).
Examples
"La disputa entre los vecinos continúa."
Natural Translation
