Athletic Bilbao is a Spanish football club from Bilbao, Biscay in the Basque Country.
In addition to winning several national league titles and domestic cups since their formation around the start of the 20th century, the club is perhaps best known for their policy of only signing players who have some link to their home territory, and for being one of only three clubs to have participated in every league season without being relegated, despite the restrictions of the policy.[1]
