Athletic Club Bilbao

If you come to Instituto Hemingway, you'll be able to discover a whole host of cultural activities in Bilbao.

Today we're going to introduce you to Athletic Club Bilbao!

In Bilbao, it's impossible to miss the San Mamés stadium, temple of football and home of Athletic Club.

Ever since the club was founded, a unique fervour has surrounded this emblematic team, and its history is the key to this.

Founded in 1898, Athletic is one of the oldest clubs in Spain, with a deep-rooted Basque identity. From the outset, it has opted for an exclusive recruitment policy: only Basque or locally-trained players wear its colours, perpetuating a tradition that embodies the solidarity and pride of an entire region. The club's successes in the King's Cup and La Liga in 2024 have reinforced this emblematic symbol of the Basque Country.

Athletic Club is a real family, where the players give their all on the pitch. Fans expect intense matches, with combative players who give nothing away, action that thrills the crowd, and a sense of belonging fortified by local roots.

Come and experience a match at San Mamés and leave charged with emotions and that sense of family that is so unique to Bilbao.
