San Mamés is the name of Athletic Bilbao's new football stadium. The stadium replaced the "old" San Mamés as the home of Athletic Bilbao. ==History== The first stages of planning occurred as early as 2004, with initial contracts signed late on in 2006, after receiving approval to build in March 2006. On 26 May 2010 at 12:00 the ground-breaking ceremony took place at San Mamés. The event was attended by: the ''Lehendakari'' of the Basque Country, Patxi López; the Deputy-General of Biscay, José Luis Bilbao; the Mayor of Bilbao, Iñaki Azkuna; the Chairman of Bilbao Bizkaia Kutxa, Mario Fernández; the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Ángel María Villar and the President of Athletic Club, Fernando García Macua. Despite the economical woes the country was going through at the time, especially the Basque people, 52.6% of the total cost of the €211m stadium were paid by public institution - some by the Basque government, some by the Bilbao City Council and some by the Biscay Provincial Council. The new stadium was built next to the prior San Mamés on land that was occupied until 2003 by the Bilbao International Trade Fair. Initially, three-quarters of the new stadium were built and then matches took place in the new stadium, and the old one was demolished to make room to complete the new stadium. San Mames was inaugurated on 16 September 2013. The inaugural match was a league match played at 22:00pm between the hosts Athletic Club and Celta Vigo, which the local team won 3–2. On 19 September 2014, San Mames was selected as one of the 13 venues to host matches at UEFA Euro 2020. San Mames will host three group stage matches and one Round of 16 match in the tournament.〔http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/newsid=2151146.html#2020+hosts+decided〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Mamés Stadium (2013)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
