Fans of Athletic in Mexico and the United States were excited to hear that the Bilbao team could finish their season with some friendly matches in America. The location of these matches was narrowed down to Mexico City, New York and another American city. EuskalKultura.com has contacted the Ibaigane club and confirmed that this plan was proposed to the League, but that no final decision has been made.

Bilbao, Bizkaia. The news was published in El Correo, and has since spread across the Atlantic to soccer fans in Mexico and the United States. EuskalKultura.com has been in contact with the club to confirm that the Spanish Football League has merely proposed the visit to America. The objective would be to play three friendly games in Mexico City and two other American cities, possibly New York City.

Club sources assure that right now this is no more than a proposal and that Athletic is focused on finishing their season. They are currently in fourth place, and if they continue to play well could make it to the Champions League.
