The Athletic Club of Bilbao is one of the few sq ue refrains to import players on their teams. Just playing there who were born in the Country Basque footballing or have formed in the autonomous city of Spain. A gratifying example of pride in itself.
late nineteenth century, the bourgeoisie of Bilbao was going to join all those coming from Europe, but mostly what came from England. The Anglo-Saxon nation enjoyed a boom made from the Industrial Revolution and was (still is) one of the world's hotspots. Exported habits, fashions, customs and football. All this came to the English city of the hand of a vast British colony.
The
sport soon became popular and was no longer for the privileged. Thus in 1898, a group of Biscay and English residents constituted a team to participate in various competitions. Three years later, he took legal form and was established as an entity they called Athletic Club. However, outside the Basque country, the institution was and is better known as Athletic de Bilbao. In reality, the corruption of the name had its root in the years of the Franco regime. During the process, by taxation, was called Athletic Bilbao.
tradition a few years begin later. In 1909, eager to regain the Cup won in 1903 and 1904 it was decided to hire non-resident British and won the bicampeonato, prompting complaints from competitors. The Royal Society, traditional classic, after he thwarted some of the additions from outside the Athletic had demanded the presence of many foreigners. That year, 1911, was the last where there was presence of non-native players in the ranks of the team. Depending on the version of the club, they did so in response to criticism by the Royal Society and other clubs to "be hurt in the pride."
That was the beginning of a new philosophy that was maintained over the years. This is governed by the principle determinanteue can only play on their teams who were born in the Basque Country, who have been trained in the quarry itself, or in the clubs belonging to one of the regions of the autonomous city: Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Araba, Navarre, Lapurdi, Soule and Nafarroa Behera. At one time, the fans reflected in a banner: "With quarry and fans, no need to import." And they were not too bad.

flag of Euskadi (Basque Country) Athletic English club is the third highest number of titles. Won eight league, 23 Copa del Rey and Supercopa of Spain. In the historical classification is in fourth place behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. The table is made by Royal English Football Federation (RFEF), the governing body of soccer in this country. It is based on points earned by each team in first division, whether single-season victory gave two or three points to the winner or the number of points at stake. Also, last but not least, next to Madrid and Barca never came down to the Second Division.
Institutionally has not gone wrong. Along with the above, plus the Valencia, is one of four clubs is not a corporation. Therefore, the ownership of the club lies in its partners. Their stadium, known as Cathedral is located next to San Mames asylum and then took its name. Opened in 1913 and is one of the oldest in the country. In June this year, the club has undertaken the construction of a new exhibition which will end date in four years, but they may play there for the season 2013/14. The project aims to expand capacity and meet admissions requirements required by UEFA for the title of elite stadium, which will bring up the possibility of hosting international finals, European and global.
Currently, the club was relegated from the first substantially flat. It can not compete closely with teams that include valuable players, but anywhere in the world. In fact, since 1984 does not get a title, but has managed to get a league runner-up in the 1997/98 season and another same result in the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa of Spain, 2009.
To overcome this situation and preserve the tradition, in 2002 has decided to build a foundation, nonprofit organization that works in the organization, promotion and development of sporting, cultural and social, related to football and sport among young people in the environment. A bet on the future. The Athletic Club resists.
