The One Club Award is a football award established in 2015 by the Spain-based club Athletic Bilbao to reward footballers whose careers in a single team represent values of loyalty, commitment, responsibility, sportsmanship and respect that the club considers linked to its identity.
The award is presented at halftime during an Athletic Bilbao home match by club ambassador José Ángel Iribar.
For that reason, the award has been described as rare point of non-tribalism in the modern game.
The prize exists to honour players who have demonstrated a "real" connection to region of their club.
Athletic Bilbao place particular importance on player loyalty and promotion from within,[2] with the majority of their players graduating from their youth academy system based at the Lezama Facilities outside Bilbao;[3][4] they have a self-imposed limitation where they will only field players that have a connection to the Basque region where they are based.
