This was the former San Mamés stadium, which, as it can be guessed, is located in the Spanish city of Bilbao.

This facility had an incredible history. It was a truly impressive stadium that had a capacity of approximately 40 thousand spectators. It was the home of Athletic Bilbao between 1913 and 2013. All matches from the great Spanish La Liga can be wagered at any moment through the 1xBet platform.

Spain’s oldest football stadium

San Mamés was the oldest football stadium in Spain. In fact, for this reason it was nicknamed by locals as La Catedral, which is a Spanish expression that means The Cathedral. For this reason, during its first years, Athletic’s fans displayed an almost religious devotion when following the matches of their team in this venue. Right now to bet live is easy with 1xBet, and it also features all matches played at the new San Mamés.

The very first match played here took place in August 1913. It was a friendly match between Athletic Bilbao and Racing Club de Irún.

At this moment making a live bet with 1xBet is easy and quick, and this applies to wagering in both pre-match and live forms.
