About the brand ❤️
Athletic Club, commonly known outside Spain as Athletic Bilbao, is one of the most historic professional football clubs in Spain, founded on 18 July 1898 and based in Bilbao in the Basque Country. The club is unique among top European teams for its member-owned governance structure, where registered members elect leadership rather than the club being owned by private investors. Athletic is especially famous for its cantera policy, which prioritises recruiting and developing players from the Basque region, fostering deep regional identity and pride. The team plays its home matches at the iconic San Mamés Stadium, known locally as “La Catedral” of Spanish football. Athletic Club has been consistently competitive in La Liga, winning multiple league titles and Copa del Rey trophies, and is widely respected for its sporting tradition and cultural significance. Its red and white striped jerseys and commitment to homegrown talent make the club a symbol of Basque heritage and one of the most enduring institutions in world football.
