Arenas Club de Getxo, commonly known as Arenas Getxo, is a historic Spanish football club based in the town of Getxo, near Bilbao in the Basque Country. Founded in 1909, the club has a rich history and is one of the pioneering teams in Spanish football.
Arenas Getxo was one of the ten founding members of the Spanish Football League, La Liga, in 1928. The club's golden era was undoubtedly the 1920s when they were one of the most competitive teams in Spain. Their crowning achievement came in 1919 when they won the Copa del Rey, Spain's premier domestic cup competition. They also finished as runners-up in the competition on three occasions, in 1917, 1925, and 1927.
The club's success in the early years of Spanish football also saw them finish in the top four of La Liga on two occasions. However, they were relegated from the top flight in 1935 and have not returned since. Despite this, Arenas Getxo has remained an important part of the Spanish football landscape.
The club's home ground is the Campo Municipal de Gobela, a small stadium with a capacity of around 1,200 spectators. Despite its modest size, the ground has a unique charm and is a testament to the club's long history.
Over the years, Arenas Getxo has developed a reputation for nurturing young talent. The club's youth academy has produced several players who have gone on to play in Spain's top divisions and even represent the national team. This commitment to youth development is a key part of the club's identity.
In recent years, Arenas Getxo has competed in the Tercera División, the fourth tier of Spanish football. Despite the challenges of lower league football, the club remains committed to its principles of promoting local talent and playing attractive, attacking football.
The club's colors are black and white, and their badge features a ship, representing the town's maritime history. The club's motto, "Aurrera Beti Aurrera" (Always Forward), encapsulates their never-say-die spirit and determination to overcome adversity.
Arenas Getxo may not have the glamour or resources of Spain's bigger clubs, but their rich history, commitment to youth development, and enduring community spirit make them a unique and cherished part of Spanish football. Despite the ups and downs, the club continues to hold a special place in the hearts of its loyal fans and remains a symbol of pride for the town of Getxo.
