Trivia

• Overlooking the Estuary of Bilbao at the edge of the city centre, San Mamés Stadium was first inaugurated in 1913 and has become a part of Bilbao’s inner-city architecture following the completion of its total renovation in 2013.
• The stadium can be illuminated from the outside.
• A statue of goalscoring legend Pitxitxi was moved from the old stadium to the new; visiting club captains traditionally present a bouquet at the statue to mark their first visit.
