Jon Uriarte has taken the decisive step to lead the future of Athletic Club. The current president has officially announced his intention to seek re-election, marking the start of a key campaign for the stability of the Ibaigane institution. The businessman aims to continue a project that has established the club among the competitive elite.

In this new phase, Uriarte will not be alone. The executive has confirmed that he will have the support of eight members of his current board of directors. This decision seeks to reward the experience gained during his term and ensure that the strategic lines, both sporting and institutional, continue without abrupt disruptions.

Uriarte’s proposal is based on the professionalization of the club’s internal areas and the strengthening of its unique philosophy. By surrounding himself with much of his trusted team, the candidate aims to convey a message of security and solidity to the club’s voting members and the red-and-white supporters.

The electoral process at San Mamés is now entering a decisive phase. Uriarte’s candidacy is presented as the continuity option in the face of the economic and sporting challenges of modern football, while always defending the member-owned model.
