  • Heritage and tradition have always played a huge part of Athletic Club Bilbao's fabric making them a truly unique club.
    In a football world ruled by extortionate transfer fees and money, Athletic’s story is one of innovation with an almost complete reliance on their youth academy and bringing players through the system.
    This is their story... This is Athletic Club Bilbao.

      This is not something you can "consider", it's something you feel organically. It's something that would link to a club with traditions and a philosophy like Bilbao. Mage, big-spending super clubs attract bandwagon type fans. Not the kind of fans that would support a culturally-rich club like Bilbao, where winning is second to the tradition .. and where "wins" are garnered away from winning football matches as well. Special.

    My favorite club in the Spanish Liga for the last 10 years. This is true football - defending your identity and keeping your traditions alive. And the best thing about their new stadium is that they collected all the money needed by donations from the fans and companies based in the Basque region.

    Always my team of choice on FM. There is a dark side to why they are the only cantera side in the basque region and not Real Sociedad for example, but as a Southampton fan and the link with us, and the fact they do only sign local talent and are still in the top flight alongside Barça and Real after a century makes this club so deep in my heart. A beautiful club that really embodies the true meaning of the word "club".

    This is how every club should be, tiny clubs loyal to there village/towns, small/medium clubs to their region and big clubs to their nation/wider region.

I always thaught that it would be great if the club 1 FC Nürnberg would share the same philosophy like Athletic Bilbao bc I always knew that the majority of the players they hire from all over don't really care and don't know about who we are.
