Arenas Club de Getxo is a Spanish football club based in the town of Getxo, near Bilbao, in the autonomous community of Basque Country. Founded in 1909, it currently plays in Segunda Federación – Group 2, holding home games at Campo Municipal de Gobela, with a 2,000-seat capacity.[2] They were winners of the 1919 Copa del Rey, beating FC Barcelona 5–2.
It was among the pioneering clubs of Spanish football, and in 1928 was a founding member of La Liga, alongside neighbouring Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad and Real Unión. Only Real Unión has remained a consistent rival since then due to both of their downfalls from the top flight.
