Clarification concerning the petition made by the Supporters’ Clubs

As a result of the press release made by the Athletic Club Supporters’ Club Association with regards to the number of tickets that Athletic Club has made available to them for the Copa match against FC Barcelona on 5 January, our organization would like to express its astonishment and surprise and would like to communicate to the general public that, as part of our institutional commitments, the Club’s Official Supporters’ Clubs have received 90 tickets the minimum agreed to for each match, despite the Copa matches not being included in the agreement made at the time.

Likewise and in view of the existing demand for tickets for said match and as our members and fans already know, we must make it known that it was impossible for Athletic Club to comply with the petition of 600 tickets made by the representatives of the supporters’ clubs, at the same time let it also be known that this situation does not prevent the organization from acknowledging the supporters’ clubs once again for their devotion in the defence of our colours.
