In the heart of Bilbao lies San Mames, the heart of Athletic Club. It is an institution known throughout the world for their commitment to their local region, their pride in the team being made up of their own Basque countrymen and their consistency of excellence despite their players all being from such a small region. Alongside our partners at New Balance Football, we went to Bilbao to talk to those who understand the club better than any other, the people within it, and understand Athletic from the inside out. Born, Bred, Basque – this is the Athletic Club story.

By some distance, the greatest football nation on the planet. Both, players and coaches….'per head' . And what a pride! Respect from London…..Croatian heart though….always.
Aúpa Athletic aurrera ❤❤❤
Correction: Not just basques, all ones who are from Euskal herria, that includes Basque country, Navarra and French Basque country…
Aupa Athletic beti 🦁❤
!!!Unique in the world!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
El Bilbao, equipo pequeño.,
Good club , only Cadiz is more unique
8 spanish liga, 25 spanish copa of Rey, 3 spanish super copa, 2 UEFA final , with real Madrid and Barcelona never in the second league, ever in the spanish elite league, and this with only basque player, that not the rest of Spain, no no, only basque, histórical little región of north of Spain with not more 2 million of citicen. Yes, IS a special club, unique in the world
They said they raise good people within the club. Does that mean if they have a young player whose world class but a bit of a shi9thead off the pitch, they'd let them go?
I am from Croatia and first time I went to San Mames was before 24 years in the La Liga match Athletic – Oviedo. My local team in Croatia is Hajduk Split and my another team is Athletic. Both clubs are pure emotion which represent their region and people. Please keep going in same manner with local players. All the best from Croatia. GORA EUSKADI
Great video I have so much respect of this beautiful club ❤🤍🦁 hope to visit one day fan from Denmark
San Mames es unico
Love Athletic Club. From a geordie
True is the link between the club and the community due to all those values , however , it is important to remark that also a big number of fans are spreaded all over Spain and also the planet sharing the same link and union with the club and team but away from San Mames, in my case born and bred in Madrid but Athletitzale as any other.Aupa Athletic!
I am from Germany,and I love Athletic forever.This Club is unique,and one thing is for sure : If 11 basque players challenging Real and Barca year for year…that's our trophy,that's our pride !
Aupa Athletic ❗️
Viva España y Aupa Athletic
And of course, the biggest rival besides from Madrid, they point the finger and that’s real Sociedad aka basque Derby
Mexican heart; Basque blood. It's what dreams are made of.
The best example of a club who prioritises genuinely feeling like a home team for the fans. Basically a national team standing against all the rich oil barons ruining football
P r o m o S M 🤤
Gora Athletic! 🙂
