Discover the unique ambience in San Mamés

The first San Mamés had a capacity of 7000 at first, but expansions were made throughout the entire 20th century. With the World Cup of 1982 in mind, the stadium underwent a grand renovation that would allow 46,000 supporters in the stadium. The stadium got pretty old after a couple of decades and had to be renewed. The new San Mamés opened in 2013 and still serves as the home of Athletic Bilbao – a club with a heart for its fans; and vice versa. You’ll read why in the following chapter.

The beautiful story of San Mamés

The Estadio San Mamés, which is located in Bilbao, opened in 1913 and the footballers paid the stadium themselves. Their passion for football grew, which made them want their own stadium. The team collected 98,000 pesetas which was enough to build a stadium with. This stadium was the first football-oriented stadium in Spain. The nickname of the stadium is ‘La Catedral’ and it is called this way by almost the entire population of Spain. The legendary Estadio San Mamés was demolished precisely a century after its opening and a substitution was built. This stadium is also called the Estadio San Mamés and still has the same nickname.
