Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Club, founded in 1898 and commonly known as Athletic Bilbao, is one of the most historic and unique clubs in world football. Its most distinctive feature is its strict youth policy, which involves competing exclusively with players born or footballingly trained in Euskal Herria (the Basque Country). This philosophy has made the club an emblem of local identity and a benchmark for developing homegrown talent.

Along with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, it is one of only three clubs to have played in every season of the Spanish First Division since its inception in 1928. Its honors include 8 La Liga titles and 24 Copa del Rey trophies, placing it among Spain's most decorated entities. They play their home matches at the San Mamés stadium, a modern "Cathedral" with a capacity for over 53,000 spectators that generates one of the most intense and respected atmospheres in European football.
