Report

The Era 1913 to 1940 was one in which the top Basque Soccer Clubs: Athletic Club de Bilbao, Real Socieded and Osasuna all played in the Regional Leagues. Unsurprisingly Athletic Club de Bilbao (Athletic Club as it was known in the early years), the original, most famous and most successful Basque Soccer team, won most of the Campeonato Vizcaya Championships – one of the Basque Provinces Leagues. Athletic Club won 11 of the 13 Championship played in this era, with their biggest rivals then Arenas Club of Ibaiondo winning the other two.

The Basque Country in Northern Iberia (Spain) and South West France has a proven genetic link with The Welsh and Irish Celts, with geneticists proving a strong genetic link between the three races/peoples going back to the Neolithic, before farming was introduced from the Near East [References: 3]. The three languages are among the oldest in Europe, with Basque pre-dating Indo-European languages thought to have arrived in Europe with farming, and Celtic languages showing a strong link with North African branch of Afro-Asiatic languages as well as Indo-European languages, uniquely in Europe. [References: 4-5] Athletic Bilbao celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in 2018 by lighting up the famous San Mames stadium in Green on the Eve of the Day itself [Reference: 6]

Irish Catholic teams have played in the Scottish Football League sice its inception in 1890-91, with Celtic (Glasgow) first playing the SFA Cup in 1889 and becoming founder mmbers of the Scottish Football League in 1890. Hibernian (Edinburgh) joined three years later in 1893-94. Dundee United, replacing Dundee Hibernians (1910-11 to 1914-15 and again from 1921-22 for only one season) joined in 1923-24 when the SFL was expancded to a third Division. Dumbarton Harp were a shortlived SFL team during that Division 3 expansion, lasting two seasons (until 1924-25).
