Unique in the world

That’s how everything begins

manifesto

All teams dream of the same thing: WINNING.

But victory is a goal that only one team reaches in every match, in every championship.
Winning is very difficult; the easy thing to do is losing.

That's why in football, more and more, the end justifies the means;

who cares about the way, if the only thing that matters is the result?

But if you like the sport, you know that the way counts.

The union between the fans and the team counts. The sense of belonging of those who represent you on the pitch counts. Identity counts.
Because winning is wonderful, but WINNING THE WAY ATHLETIC CLUB WINS is something else.

SOMETHING UNIQUE.

Those who love football, know it.
Those who know us, understand it. And those who dare to go their own path feel it.
