About San Mames
The current San Mamés opened in 2013, replacing the original stadium of the same name that had stood on an adjacent site since 1913. The new ground was developed in phases, with the old stadium demolished once the new one was complete. Designed by the architecture firm IDOM, it retains the nickname "La Catedral" — a title earned by its storied predecessor. The stadium hosted matches during UEFA Euro 2020 (played in 2021) and has been a regular venue for Copa del Rey finals. It stands as a testament to Athletic Club's unique identity and deep Basque roots.
San Mamés generates one of the most intense atmospheres in Spanish football. Athletic Club's fiercely loyal support and strict Basque-only player policy create a profound sense of local identity that permeates every matchday. The steep, wrap-around stands channel crowd noise brilliantly, and the famous "Aupa Athletic" chants reverberate throughout the bowl. European nights, in particular, are electric, with the ground living up to its "La Catedral" nickname.
Set in Bilbao, San Mames holds roughly 53,331 spectators and delivers a matchday and concert experience that draws crowds from across the region. Browse upcoming events below and buy with confidence on Staadly.
