About Athletic

Athletic Club, or Athletic Bilbao, are a Basque football club who feature in the Primera Division. They are one of the most successful clubs in Spain, winning La Liga eight times, as well as the Copa del Rey on 24 occasions. Athletic, also known as Los Leones, has an established local rivalry with Real Sociedad, a fellow Basque side. The club is famous for only employing Basque-born players, and so relies heavily on their lauded cantera youth system for success. Historically, their most celebrated players are Jose Iribar, Aitor Larrazabal, Jose Luis Panizo, Francisco Yeste, Agustin Gainza, Txetxu Rojo, Julen Guerrero, Fernando Llorente, Rafael Moreno Aranzadi, and Telmo Zarra. Their most celebrated coaches are Javier Clemente, Fred Pentland, and Marcelo Bielsa. Their home since 2013 has been the redeveloped San Mames, which has a capacity of nearly 54,000 spectators.
