Although Athletic’s recent Copa de la Reina exit against Cacereño closed the year with a bitter taste in the mouth, it is worth looking at 2024 with perspective and making a positive assessment of what has been achieved.
The team led by David Aznar has been in a moment of transition and growth for some time where great club figures such as Eunate Arraiza, Nekane Diez either Garage Murua gave way to younger footballers such as Ane Eexpuru, Clara Pinedo either John Amezaga among others, which is now the central axis of this group and the references for the near future, for the coming years.
In June, the team closed the 2023/2024 season in a good 5th position and with the feeling of doing things well and above all building a strong team with very young players. The 2024/2025 campaign started a little irregularly, but the lions achieved stability by going from less to more. This year, 2024 ends with Athletic also occupying fifth place and there is a general good feeling with the aim of matching last year’s achievement and fighting to improve it. Although it is complicated due to the competitiveness and quality of some teams, the goal is still to reach the European positions in June 2025 and the red and white team is working for it.
A goal that has not been fulfilled for a long time, but will come sooner rather than later considering the work that has been done.
Athletic is making a guaranteed project with very young and high-quality footballers who will surely one day achieve what the team achieved in its golden years.
Work, work and more work to get Athletic’s name heard in Europe again after so many years.
