Athletic Club, most often known in English as Athletic Bilbao, is a football club which plays in Spain.
Athletic Bilbao's nickname is "Los Leones" (The Lions). This is because their stadium was built near a church named San Mamés. The church is named after Saint Mammes, an early Christian thrown to the lions by the Romans.[1]
The club formed from a merger of two football clubs ; Bilbao F.C. and Athletic Club in 1903.
Athletic Bilbao is known for only utilizing players from the historic basque territory, which includes the Basque Country in Spain and France such as the region of Navarre.
