This Is Athletic Club Bilbao – Basque Identity vs Modern Football
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.

Celtic Buena calidad, talla bien y muy bonita
i am supporting athletic club because their kit is inspired from southampton ❤️❤️
(sprry for my english jaja) One of the things that makes me feel proud of our team is that taking account that particular policy of only playing with basque players, there is not far rigth supporters, maybe the logic would say that this club is racist because they dont want foreign players or that they hate the other countries o races, but not, even the hooligans of Athletic are from far left
Fortunately, football has nothing to do with the race INSIDE THE FIELD, what is missing is that they want to put Basque cuisine into football, you already know the great problem of these peculiar people: "I am different and much better than you, nobody is like me, we are the best, this is not logical"
Rather be relegated than conforming to new ways
Surprised it isn't classed as racist
if city did this we would only have english players
This club reminds me of chivas. Even the stadiums look a bit similar from the inside
Nice video
Watching 11 basque boys competing…this is our title,wow. Best club in the world !
Onore a voi!! Saluti dall'Italia!!
Respect for Bilbao
Atletico di Bilbao va oltre al calcio passione tradione e amore per i propri colori grandi👍👍
And this is why they will always be a middle of the road team viva la barca
Athletic Club (Best atmosphere in Spain)
amazing club with this sort of policy & also successful as well…a club to admire🙏
When you play to 'wich team is' and all the players are spanish xd
Here after Aduriz announced his retirement.
Even though you tourtured us at times, you will be missed.
Me parece racista este equipo.
lol if a team in England had a English only player thing we would be called racist but because it’s the Spanish it’s fine
the female football player is cute
Aúpa Athletic
GORA ATHLETIC CLUB!!!
I WANT TO BUY THE BLUE TRAINING TOP Inaki Williams is wearing but i can't find it for sale anywhere online. HELP!!!!
I am sure that you don’t have to be born on the basque region but if you join at a youth level and learn basque football you can also play
ATLETICO OTTAWA JOINED THE FAMILY!
Solo juegan con vascos o gente de cantera, como Biurrun (brasileño), Lizarazu (francés), Amorebieta (Venezolano), Laporte(francés), Ganea (rumano). Mario Bermejo (cantera del Racing), Etxebarria (cantera de la Real), Llorente y Ezquerro (riojanos), Valverde (extreme ño) Kodro(Bosnio)…… Etc etc pero siguen vendiendo la moto
These r the kind of teams I have ultimate respect for as a juve fan
🦁
While the idea of this club with only playing native players from the basque region is quite patriotic they are being very short sighted as the players themselves do not share the same patriotism as the club. First chance they get they are off. Look at last few years with kepa at Chelsea, Laporte, herrera, Javi martinez
What a pathetic comment section, this is discrimination point blank. If they only used players who came through their academy I can at least say let's see if they allowing every kid who wants to be in their Academy be a part of it. But the fact that you grow up in the Basque part of France or be from Real Sociedad, their biggest rival and that's okay, while some hungry kid from Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, or Malaga can't. Then think about all those kids in South America, East Asia, and Africa who want to play in La Liga or specifically for Athletic de Bilbao, they can never be a part of that team. It's discrimination, they put Iniaki Williams so they can have a black face and dress up something that is clearly shameful.
Unique city, unique club ❤️🦁
BRING ON THE BASQUE DERBY IN THE COPA DEL REY FINAL!!! REAL SOCIEDAD!
they are opposite to all plastic clubs like rb leipzig
i admire Athletic and basques a lot
Gora beti euskal herria ! ❤️
I prefer to lose with Arsenal than to win with Manchester City..
Athletic: "Here we dont look to the color of the skin"
Also Athletic: "Oh nono, you arent 100% basque, you CANT play here, dumb"
