Description
Discover the unique story of Athletic Club Bilbao, a football club like no other. Founded in 1898 by British migrant workers and Basque students, Athletic has grown into a team with a rich history and a strong sense of identity.
The club's self-imposed Basque-only transfer policy has sparked intrigue across the footballing world, and its success has been marked by a remarkable absence of relegation, alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona. This remarkable achievement is all the more remarkable given the complex politics of the Basque Country and its strained relationship with Spain.
Exclusive interviews with former legends, prominent journalists, and Athleticzales provide the historical, political, and social context that makes Athletic so special. Get an inside look at the club's fascinating story and the people who have shaped its history.
