What's Included
What we will do in this experience
Live the Spirit of Basque Football at San Mamés with Athletic Club
Discover one of Europe’s most unique football cultures in the heart of the Basque Country. With a passionate local host by your side, you’ll experience matchday in Bilbao like never before — through the food, the traditions, and the pride of Athletic Club.
Your day kicks off with a guided pintxos crawl in the lively streets around the stadium. You’ll sample classic local bites and drinks while learning about Athletic’s one-of-a-kind identity — a club that has proudly fielded only Basque players for over a century. It’s more than football here. It’s heritage, culture, and community.
Then, it’s on to the iconic San Mamés, known across Spain as the Cathedral of Football. As the red-and-white faithful fill the stands, you’ll feel the energy build — chants echoing, scarves waving, and every moment loaded with emotion. Your host will be there to guide you through the chants, explain local rituals, and share insights that bring the experience to life.
This Homefans experience includes your official match ticket, a pintxo and drink, and personal hosting throughout the evening. Whether you’re a football fanatic or just curious about the Basque spirit, this is your chance to witness Athletic Club’s legacy in its purest form.
