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.

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 ❗️

It's my lifelong team. I was born in Barcelona but my blood is red and white. I'm from ATHLETIC because of its club philosophy. It only plays with home players and that makes it a CLUB with more legend and honor AUPA ATHLETIC!!! 🦁🔝💪

Club are my Spanish team and I never miss a match on TV. My son was lucky enough to attend San Mames during his European travels. And I was at St.James Park in the summer and more excited to see Athletic Club than my beloved Newcastle United. Howay the Lads. Viva Los Leones ❤️ ⚽️

The Newcastle-Athletic bond is such a beautiful story, it could have its own documentary! We met a bunch of Celtic fans on matchday as well, who told us about a very similar relationship with the green and white of Glasgow - Athletic seem to have a knack for building these relationships, and you can see why!

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

@AmperRamone 5 месяцев назад

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 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

@javierdesande9620 Год назад

Im not much into football, but I’m form Bilbao. I can only thank you for making this video and thank everyone who is commenting good thing about the club. We are a huge family, no matter if you like football or not, if you are from Bilbao you have the teams T-shirt. Its not only about football, its an identity and a demonstration of what can be done just by beeing true to your beliefs. We manage to keep up with the other teams just with our locals, its something that people dont really understand.

@asiersanz8941 Год назад

@@javiergomara1241 It's not so difficult to understand. Euskal Herria/Basque Country, 7 territories, 3 ruled by France (Lapurdi, Baxe Nafarroa and Zuberoa) and 4 ruled by Spain (Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Araba, Nafarroa). The people from Rioja can't play unless they've been raised as players in basque teams. Easy, isn't it?

@javiergomara1241 Год назад

@@asiersanz8941 athletic’s philosophy is pretty wide and flexible. Players coming from the “diaspora” and those with basque antecesors can also play… everyone can play and for me there is no reason to be proud about. In the past, it was said that even Iker Casillas could play…

@asiersanz8941 Год назад

@@javiergomara1241 Not at all. The people.descending from the basque diaspora can't play and it is one of the hottest debate we do have. I think they should play. Your other words are not worth an anser, typical statement of an Athletic hater, so fnnuy the comment about Iker Casillas. This club is unique, and then you do have the others. That means that stars like Messi can play wherever they want, oh stop! Wherever? NO! NOT IN ATHLETIC CLUB BECAUSE IT IS BASQUE! That's the main reason to film this documentaruy
