San Mamés Stadium

The San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao is one of the most iconic buildings in the city.

With a maximum capacity of 53,000 spectators, it’s the 7th largest stadium in Spain and one of the top sporting venues in the whole of Europe. 

Opening in 2013, its home to Athletic Bilbao and also where the Basque Country National Team play their football. 

It’s a must see on a trip to Bilbao . Below we run through the reasons why, and how you can visit the stadium for yourself. 

Things to know about the San Mamés Stadium

If you don’t know much about the San Mamés stadium, then read on to understand the main things that make this stadium special. 

1. Voted as one of the best stadiums in the world

The completion of the San Mamés placed Athletic with a stadium amongst the best in the world. It is ranked as a UEFA category 4 stadium, which is the highest UEFA ranking. 

The complex lighting system that surrounds the outside of the stadium is reminiscent of that of the Allianz arena (Bayern Munich’s stadium) in Munich. Its thousands of panels can be illuminated in different colours to show moving graphics. 

The design and quality of the San Mamés has also received prestigious awards. It won the best sports building award at the “World Architecture Festival” in Singapore. 

2. It was selected to host the 2020/21 Euros

Thanks to the stadium’s category 4 ranking, the San Mamés qualifies to be selected to host Euro games and UEFA cup finals. 

And that’s exactly what happened when the venue was selected as one of the 13 stadiums to host matches as the 2020 Euros. 

However, the privilege was later transferred to the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville due to restrictions in the Basque Country from the pandemic.

3. It replace the old San Mamés

Today’s San Mamés isn’t actually the original San Mamés. No, the new stadium replaced the old stadium under the same name which stood close by. 

The old San Mamés was the home of Athletic Bilbao for 100 years (1913 – 2013) before it was deemed inappropriate for modern day football. 

The new stadium officially opened on the 16th September 2013 with Athletic Bilbao securing a 3-2 win against Celta Vigo in La Liga. 

How to visit the San Mamés Stadium

OK, so now you know a little bit about the stadium, how do you actually go about visiting it? Well, below we run through your options. 

1. Go to a game

Without a doubt, the best way to get the full San Mamés experience is to go to a game. 

General sale tickets for Athletic Bilbao games can be bought online or at the ticket office at the stadium up to two days before the match.

Tickets for most matches will be available on the day, but to avoid disappointment, it’s worth booking earlier. Games against the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Real Soceidad (local derby) will sell out. 

Prices start from around €30.00 going up to €110.00 or more some of the better seats in the house. 

2. Do the San Mamés Tour

Unfortunately, it’s not always going to be the case that there’s a Athletic Bilbao home game on when you visit Bilbao. But don’t worry, you can still get a sense for the San Mamés stadium. 

The club offers a comprehensive tour package of the San Mamés stadium via. The Athletic Club Museum. The experience makes it one of the best museums in Bilbao . 

On non match days, you’ll get the chance to visit the first team dressing room, dugout, pitch side, the museum, press room and even the president’s box. 

Prices start from €14 for a non-guided (audio guide only) tour of the San Mamés or from €20 for a guided tour of the stadium. You can find out more, check availability and book online through the clubs website .  

How to get to the San Mamés Stadium

The San Mamés is one of those rare modern stadiums that is actually situated in the centre of the city. That makes it really easy to get to on foot or by public transport. 

The San Mamés is typically no more than a 30 minute walk from most areas of Bilbao. 

It’s located 2 km east of the Old Quarter of Bilbao and about a 15 minute walk from the Guggenheim museum.

2. By metro and train

Both metro lines in Bilbao pass by the stadium (San Mamés stop), making it easy to reach the stadium comfortably from anywhere in the city or nearby towns. 

The stadium is reachable from the two train stations in Bilbao, which are near to the Casco Viejo. By foot it’s a 25 minute walk, or you can hop on the metro a couple of stops up to the San Mamés.

The main bus station in Bilbao is just a couple of minutes walk away from the stadium which makes it an easy journey to reach from places nearby. 

If you’re getting to Bilbao from San Sebastian , the bus is probably the easiest option.

If you have a question that’s not been answered in this article, feel free to drop it down in the comments below and we’ll get back to you.

Athletic Bilbao’s old stadium was also called the San Mamés stadium. It was used by Athletic Club from 1913 to 2013 and was located close by to the new San Mamés. 

Planning for the San Mamés began back as early as 2004, but the stadium officially opened on the 16th September 2013.  On its inauguration however, the stadium was only three quarters complete. The old San Mamés stadium had to be demolished before the final stand could be built.  The first game under full capacity with the stadium fully complete was in August 2014.

Bob G, Tripadvisor

So much to investigate in the museum

This tour was superb. We had an audio guide to listen to, and were left to find our way around the stadium, behind the scenes. The museum was really well done, there was so much more to investigate in the museum than we had time to do. Overall, we felt very welcome, and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.

Alan F, Tripadvisor

More than a stadium

Excellent museum and stadium tour. Spent over 2 hours on the tour. Really informative audio guide and the information provided in the museum wasn’t overwhelming.

¿se puede visitar san mamés.

El séptimo estadio más grande de España, San Mamés es La Catedral del futbol español. ¡Sumérgete en el mundo del Athletic de Bilbao!

Por supuesto se puede visitar San Mamés . Prepárate para un increíble y apasionante tour al nuevo San Mamés, inaugurado el 16 de setiembre de 2013.

Sigue leyendo si quieres descubrir toda la información necesaria para tu visita a San Mamés.

Estadio de San Mamés La Catedral ¿Por qué se llama así?

San Mamés es, para muchos, conocido como la catedral del fútbol español. El estadio del Athletic Club de Bilbao, tanto el antiguo que fue derribado como el actual tiene una atmósfera incomparable durante sus partidos como local.

Pero, ¿por qué llaman a San Mamés La Catedral?

El motivo por el que este estadio recibe el apodo de “la catedral” deriva de la costumbre de los aficionados bilbaínos al matizar a dónde se dirigían cuando decían que iban a San Mamés, puesto que, durante muchos años, hubo un asilo que recibía el mismo nombre.

No obstante, hay quien dice que, cuando se derribó la ermita del santo que le da nombre, alguien dijo que «aquí se va a construir una catedral».

El buen gusto de su afición por el fútbol es algo que también ha ayudado a conseguir ese sobrenombre, así que no faltan razones para hablar de San Mamés como la catedral del fútbol.

Otro de los motivos por los que este sobrenombre se ha mantenido durante los años se debe también al señorío de la afición bilbaína.

Información interesante sobre San Mamés y el Athletic Club

Construido a principios de la década de 2000 e inaugurado en 2013, el nuevo San Mamés Barria sustituye al antiguo estadio del mismo nombre, sede del Athletic de Bilbao durante casi un siglo

Mucho más moderno que su predecesor, y en una ciudad que no ha dejado de evolucionar a lo largo de las décadas, San Mamés impresiona por la comodidad que ofrece a los visitantes, el ambiente que crea en cada partido y su arquitectura ultramoderna, que ha ganado varios premios a lo largo de los años.

Capaz de acoger a más de 53.000 espectadores en cada partido, el estadio es uno de los más bellos de España, el séptimo en capacidad.

A pesar de su joven historia, ya que sólo abrió sus puertas al público a principios de la década de 2010, el estadio de San Mamés ya ha tenido la oportunidad de ver a numerosas estrellas del fútbol, desde Cristiano Ronaldo hasta Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Gonzalo Higuaín, David Villa, Neymar, Xavi y el formidable Andrés Iniesta.

San Mamés fué elegido para albergar algunos de los partidos de la Eurocopa de 2020, incluido un partido de octavos de final, y parece ser uno de los estadios más importantes de Europa en el futuro, lo que evidentemente no es una mala idea. Podemos recomendar una visita con los ojos cerrados.

El Athletic de Bilbao, históricamente, es el cuarto club de fútbol más laureado de España. 

Además de ser uno de los tres únicos clubes que nunca descendieron de la primera división de La Liga (no hay premios por conocer a los otros dos), también son terceros en la cantidad de títulos ganados a lo largo de los años. 

Tristemente para su afición, el último título conseguido, junto con la Copa del Rey, fue en la temporada 1983-84 bajo la dirección de Javier Clemente.

¿Lo sabías?

Con motivo de la inauguración de su estadio -el 16 de septiembre de 2013- el Athletic de Bilbao ganó en el alambre al Celta de Vigo de Luis Enrique.

Aquella noche, y seguro que la afición vasca aún lo recuerda, Ernesto Valverde y su equipo ganaron por 3-2. El delantero brasileño Charles, primer goleador de la historia del estadio, también recordará esa noche durante mucho tiempo.
