The image shows a nighttime view of San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, illuminated in the characteristic red and white colors of Athletic Club. The stadium stands out for its contemporary architecture and luminous façade, which creates a dynamic and easily recognizable visual effect within the urban landscape. In the foreground, the Bilbao estuary can be seen, with its waters reflecting the lights of the stadium and the surrounding urban lighting, creating a contrast between the natural environment and the city. Residential and service buildings, as well as urban infrastructure, surround the stadium, all under a dark sky that enhances its iconic presence as an architectural and sporting landmark of the city.

San Mamés, chosen as one of the venues for Euro 2021, is considered one of the 30 stadiums with the best atmospheres in the world according to France Football.

The stadium has won several international awards including World's Best Sports Building at the 2015 World Architecture Festival, Best Stadium of the Year at the 2017 World Football Summit and the highest distinction in the sports and recreational facilities category at the 2020 World Design Awards.

The museum exhibits the jewels of its valuable collection linked to its hundred year old history. More than 1000 pieces and 900 videos selected from the museum’s archive are presented in a museum tour that picks apart the history of Athletic Club and highlights a collective legacy.
