One-Club Award

One-Club Award

One career, one club.

The One-Club Man and One-Club Woman awards are presented to footballers who spent their entire professional career signed to a single team, and therefore demonstrated values which reflect Athletic Club’s own identity as a football club.

From 2026, the rules governing the One-Club Award will include a new, occasional award category called the One-Club Legend, which recognises the careers of athletes (other than footballers) who have spent their entire careers at a single club.

The winners always collect the trophy in front of the San Mamés faithful during an Athletic Club game. The respective recipients are accompanied to the centre-circle by Athletic legends José Ángel Iribar and Eli Ibarra as they receive the accolade.
