San Mamés will pay triple tribute to seven players linked to Athletic's history in the build-up to the match against Sevilla. The ceremony will take place before the minute's silence dedicated to Carmelo Cedrún.

Unai Simón, Laporte and Nico Williams will take to the pitch, accompanied by former player and coach Luis de la Fuente, to receive recognition following their World Cup victory. Elene Gurtubay and Ziara Vega, European sub-19 champions, will also be honoured.
