AC Experiences

Athletic Club's youth football tournament will celebrate its 2nd edition in June 2024 after a great inaugural event last year, with more than 5,000 players, 300 teams and 1,000 matches played.

All teams will play at least one of their four guaranteed matches at Lezama, with the possibility of also playing at San Mamés stadium - which will host the opening ceremony - should they reach the final. 

The tournament allows young talents (aged 11-16) to gain valuable experience and, at the same time, puts Bilbao in the global youth football spotlight for an entire weekend.

Athletic Club's football camps, held over Christmas, Easter and the summer, are designed for children aged 6 to 14 years old.

Training sessions form the core daily activities, where a lot of importance is placed on guided learning.

There are also meetings with first-team footballers, visits to AC Museum and San Mames, as well as specific classes on Athletic Club values.

Athletic Club offers teams from around the world the chance to organise pre-season camps and intensive training programmes at the club's top-class facilities in Lezama.

The on-site residence can house 58 athletes and is surrounded by nine football pitches, specific areas for goalkeeping coaching, gyms, a covered pavillion, dining rooms and changing rooms. It's the ideal place to design a high-performance camp adapted to the needs of your club.
