About the Club

• Athletic Bilbao won La Liga for the first time in 1930 and after that 7 times more, making Athletic Bilbao (or Athletic Club de Bilbao, which is the proper name in Spanish) the fourth most successful in Spanish club football.

• While Athletic Bilbao was officially founded in 1903, its history goes a bit deeper than that. The then-new game of football was brought to the city of Bilbao by two different groups of people – the British shipyard workers and the Basque students returning from their studies in Britain (which is the reason for the English sounding Athletic instead of the Spanish sounding Atlético).

• Each of these two groups founded their own football club in 1898; it wasn’t until 1903 that they decided to combine their forces and settle on a merger that would lead to creation of Athletic Club.

• Among the Spanish cities, Bilbao is the one with perhaps the biggest football heritage and their club was dominant in the early history of the country.
  Led by the visionary English coach Fred Pentland, Athletic won its first two La Liga titles in 1930 and 1931.

• Funnily enough, Athletic won its next La Liga in 1956, right after Zarra had left the club. After those glory days came a major dry spell, and the club only returned to the top echelon of Spanish football with Javier Clemente’s appointment as manager in 1981.

• While this tradition is fairly unique in the football world, it did not stop Athletic from becoming a great club; in addition to its 8 La Ligas, the club has also won over 20 Copa del Rey trophies.
