Forty years of football and community
Itsasalde was born in 1987 in a shopfront on Bidebarri, when a group of families started organising matches on the beach so the girls in the neighbourhood would have a team to play for. What began as a summer tournament was affiliated two years later and laid the foundations of a club that now brings together eight teams.
A youth academy with its own name
Since then, the football school has been the heart of the project. Hundreds of players have come through our age groups and some have reached professional football, but the goal has not changed: for every girl and boy to find their place in a team.
Today we compete in regional and national leagues, support the development of female coaches and keep our doors open to families who want to join. The Bidebarri clubhouse is still the meeting point: matchdays are organised here, kits are collected here and end-of-season celebrations are held here.
We believe in a game that teaches you to compete without leaving anyone behind. Our sporting project combines demands and care: we train to win, but also so that players enjoy themselves, learn and feel that the club is their home.
We work with families, coaches and volunteers to keep a close, transparent and sustainable structure.
