With just one month to go until the grassroots football festival on 28 and 29 March, 100 registered clubs are already selling tickets for the prize draw to win a trip with the Lions to an away match, VIP Players Zone at San Mames, Meet&Greet at Lezama with the Lionesses and 200 tickets for a match at La Catedral
With one month to go, under the slogan #DondeTodoEmpieza, #DenaHastenDenLekuan, the IV Euskal Non-League Day, the annual grassroots football festival organised by the Athletic Club Foundation, will be held on 28 and 29 March.
One hundred affiliated clubs have signed up for this new edition and have already collected the corresponding prizes and started selling raffle tickets.
Each ticket costs €3 and will be entered into two draws: an individual local draw to be held at each ground during the 4th Euskal Non-League Day, and another general draw between clubs, to be held by Athletic on 30 March, once the grassroots football festival has concluded.
The participating clubs that win the general draw may organise an additional draw to award the corresponding prize if they so wish.
All proceeds will go entirely to each club.
Local raffle: two San Mames tickets for each club
Each local draw will give away two tickets to a LaLiga match at San Mamés. In other words, as 100 participating clubs signed up, 200 match tickets will be given away in these individual draws.
First prize: travel with the men’s first team to an away match
First prize consists of two tickets, travel and accommodation for two people to accompany the men’s first team to an away LaLiga match. The first prize will be raffled among all participating clubs.
Second prize: two tickets to the Players Zone VIP
The second overall prize is a pair of tickets to the Players Zone VIP area for a LaLiga match at San Mames. This package includes VIP seats located next to the team benches and access to the stadium’s VIP ring from an hour and a half before kick-off. The second overall prize will be raffled off among all participating clubs.
Third prize: Meet & Greet at Lezama with the Lionesses
Pass for two people to attend a training session with the women’s first team and enjoy an exclusive tour of the Lezama facilities. Third overall prize to be raffled off among participating affiliated clubs.
Partner clubs interested in getting involved have until February 16 to sign up for Euskal Non-League Day 2026.
About Non-League Day
Euskal Non-League Day is an initiative inspired by the British Non-League Day movement, which has been promoting attendance at non-professional football matches during international breaks since 2010.
Athletic Club, aware that the values promoted by this community initiative resonate directly with our identity, is the only team in LaLiga that dedicates an entire weekend to highlighting the importance of grassroots football and encouraging attendance at local grounds.
Furthermore, following three successful editions, Athletic Club has established a close relationship with this initiative, which reinforces a sense of belonging among the Athletic family and our connection with academy and non-professional football throughout the Basque Country.
In addition, the club maintains a strong bond with the organisers in the United Kingdom and its founder, James Doe, who has visited the Basque Country on two occasions. A video of James Doe encouraging all participating clubs to take part and highlighting the importance of Euskal-Non League Day was also shown during the presentation.
