West Ham will welcome La Liga giants Athletic Bilbao to London Stadium for this summer’s Betway Cup pre-season fixture.
Bilbao will head to east London on Saturday 3 August, with kick-off at 3 pm, as Manuel Pellegrini’s men put the final touches on their preparations for the new campaign with a prestigious game against one of Spain’s most successful outfits.
Known as Los Leones, Bilbao have lifted the La Liga title on eight occasions and won the Copa del Rey 23 times.
Deeply rooted in the Basque Country of north-eastern Spain, the club famously has a policy of only signing players from their home region, and this will be the third time the Hammers have faced them, dating back to 1921.
Tickets for the game will start at just £2 for U18s and £10 for adults, and will be available to purchase from Tuesday 11 June, to allow the Season Ticket relocation window to take place.
Season Ticket Holders, who can also access additional savings on match day tickets in Bands 4 and above, will have a two-week window to secure their own seat, with tickets available online, over the phone on 0333 030 1966 or to personal callers to the London Stadium Ticket Office.
La-liga giants…?? They finished 8th
Were they really the best the club could muster up??
Their fans are probably saying the same of us.
