The Basque Country national football team (officially, in Basque, 'Euskal selekzioa') represents the Basque Country in football. It selects players from the Basque Country autonomous community, Navarre and the French Basque Country and is organised by the Basque Football Federation. It is not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA and therefore only allowed to play friendly matches against FIFA-affiliated teams.

The team has been referred to by various names including Euskadiko selekzioa, Euskal Herriko futbol selekzioa, Selección de Euskadi, Vasconia, Equipo Vasco, Euskadi XI and Basque XI.[1] Most of their home matches have been played in the San Mamés Stadium which was replaced in 2013 by the new San Mamés.

The Basque Country has had a football team of its own since 1930.[2] During the Second Spanish Republic, they played firstly under the name of 'Baskoniako selekzioa' (the Vasconia team) and then from 1936 as 'Euzkadiko selekzioa' (the Euskadi team). During Franco's 36 year dictatorship it only played two games. Then, after Franco's death in 1975, the team was reformed using the name 'Euskadiko selekzioa' and began playing regular friendly matches, usually during La Liga's Christmas break. Up to the present moment they have played 56 matches against a wide range of nations such as Russia, Uruguay, Nigeria and Denmark. In 2007, the team's name was controversially changed to 'Euskal Herriko futbol selekzioa'. In 2008, a compromise was reached and it was changed again to 'Euskal selekzioa'. In the lower grades, the team is either called "Euskadiko selekzioa" or "Seleccíon del País Vasco" and exclusively represents the Basque Country autonomous community (Euskadi).

History

Beginnings, the North team (1913)

On 29 September 1913 the Royal Spanish Football Federation was formally created and along with it four regional federations (Norte, Oeste, Este and Centro). Each regional federation organised its own league, and also selected a team to play against other regions. The Basque Country was grouped with Cantabria in 'Norte' (North). As most of the biggest teams in the Norte federation were Basque, such as Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, Real Unión, and Arenas Club de Getxo, so the team fielded by the federation was occasionally entirely composed of Basque players, and was called 'Vasconia', 'el equipo Vasco'[3](the Basque team), or sometimes just 'Norte'. On 3 January 1915 they played their first match which was against Catalonia in Bilbao and won 6-1,[4][5] and then on 7 February they played them again but in Barcelona, this time drawing 2-2.[6][7] On 13 May 1915 they won the inaugural 'Copa del Príncipe de Asturias' tournament in Madrid by beating Catalonia 1-0.[8] In the same competition they drew 1-1 with Centro[9] (a team formed by players from the centre of Spain). In May 1916, 'Norte' faced Catalonia twice in Barcelona, winning by 1-3 on the 21st,[10] and drawing 0-0 on the 22nd. On 4 June of the same year they beat Catalonia 5-0 in Bilbao.[11]

On 22 November 1916 the Cantabrian teams left the Northern Federation, joining the newly formed Cantabrian Federation (Federación Cantábrica de Clubes de Football), which encompassed Asturian and Cantabrian clubs. In 1918 Gipuzkoa formed its own federation leaving Biscay on their own in Federation Norte.[12] Gipuzkoa and Biscay organised their own separate teams.[13][14] In 1919 the Asturians decided to form their own federation (Federación Regional Asturiana de Clubes de Fútbol) so the Cantabrian teams rejoined 'Norte', but now it only had teams from Cantabria and Biscay. This complicated situation of federations splitting off continued for a few more years. In 1922 separate teams were created for Biscay and Cantabria because the former decided to form their own federation (Biscayan Federation).[15][16]

In the summer of 1922 a team calling itself 'the Basque team' (Equipo Vasco) was sent to South America. Although the trip was organised by the Gipuzkoan federation, 4 of the 19 players in the squad were from the Biscayan federation.[17][18] They played once against the Argentine national side, losing 4-0, then drew 1-1 against Porteño, and finally winning 0-4 against a team selected from Argentina's interior league.[19] The team also played the Uruguayan national side twice, losing both games,[20][21] before visiting Brazil where they played in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.[22] After the team had arrived back in Spain on 5 October 1922, the players resumed playing for either Biscay or Gipuzkoa. On the 12 November 1922 Asturias played Biscay in Gijón drawing 1-1 and the following day Asturias beat Biscay 4-3. On 18 November 1923, Biscay faced Asturias in Bilbao and won 4-2.[23]

The first Basque team (1930)

First match in the USSR against Locomotiv Moscow.

It wasn't until 1930 that the Biscayan and Gipuzkoan federations finally came together to create the first permanent team with the name 'Vasconia' ('Baskoniako selekzioa') to represent the Basque Country. Their first game was against Catalonia on 8 June 1930, which they won by 0-1 in Montjuïc, and they played Catalonia again on 1 January 1931 in Bilbao, winning that match 3-2.[2]

During the first year of the Spanish Civil War the Basque team changed its name to Euzkadiko selekzioa. Their first match with that name was against Cantabria on 29 November 1936 in Santander, when the Cantabrians won 3-2.[24][25] In 1937 the first president of the Basque autonomous region José Antonio Aguirre, who in his youth had been a player for Athletic Bilbao, decided to send a Basque football team abroad with the duel aim of raising money to fund the cost of the civil war, and also as a form of propaganda letting the world know about the conflict in Spain.[26] At the same time a choir called Eresoinka was formed to tour Europe for the same purpose. Money raised was reportedly used to fund a hospital in La Rosarie, France,[27] used by Spanish refugees, and also to help support the thousands of Basque children who had been sent abroad for safety.

The team consisted of the following players:

Also attached to the team were Perico Birichinaga, as a masseur, and Ricardo Irezábal and Manu de la Sota, both as delegates.[28]

The team made its debut on Monday 26 April 1937 in Paris's Parc des Princes against the French champions, Racing Paris, winning 0-3.[29] This happened to be the same day that Guernica was bombed by Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. In May 1937 they toured France beating Olympique Marseille 2-5,[30] losing 3-1 to Sète, and playing Racing Paris twice more, 3-3 and 2-3.

In May 1937, the team began to have problems with FIFA. Due to the civil war in Spain FIFA had banned all FIFA-affiliated countries and clubs from playing any Spanish teams.[31][32] A match due to take place on 30 May in the Netherlands against Rotterdam was cancelled by the Dutch Federation.[33][34] But many clubs and national sides continued to play the Basque team because they sympathised with Republican Spain which the team symbolised. The team's first match against a nation from outside of Spain was a 3-2 defeat, also in May 1937, to Czechoslovakia, who had been runners up in the 1934 World cup. In June, they played Czechoslovakia again losing 2-1. Then they played Silesia in Chorzów on 9 June.

When Bilbao was captured by Franco's forces on 19 June 1937 the team were in Moscow. They then toured the Soviet Union during that summer, playing against Lokomotiv Moscow (1-5), Dynamo Moscow twice (1-2) and (4-7), Dinamo Leningrad (2-2), Spartak Moscow (6-2), Dynamo Kiev (1-3), Dinamo Tbilisi (0-2), the Georgian football team (1-3), and finally Dinamo Minsk (1-6). Their only loss was against Spartak Moscow. The Soviet authorities were determined to win the final game in Moscow, so the Spartak team was improved by bringing players from other parts of the Soviet Empire to play for the team just for the one match.[35] Lastly they travelled to Norway and Denmark in August where they beat Norway (1-3), Norway AIF (2-3), and completed their biggest win to date against Denmark (1-11).

In the autumn of 1937 the team crossed the Atlantic to play in Mexico where FIFA had given them permission to play clubs and the national side.[36] After playing nine matches in the capital[37] and one in Guadalajara they crossed over to Cuba where their problems with FIFA got worse.[38] FIFA demanded that Cuba should not play the Basque Country. So the Basque team only played club sides, playing 4 matches, winning one and losing two. Next they travelled to Argentina, arriving on 25 February 1938. They stayed there 3 months but officially played no matches, due to their problems with FIFA. As they had run out of money and had no way of raising any, many of the big Argentine sides raised money for them.[39] They then crossed the Andes to Valparaiso, Chile, where on the 9 May 1938 they played Santiago Wanderers,[40] but the result is not known. Later in May they travelled again to Cuba,[41] this time playing the Cuban national team twice, before returning to Mexico. In the 1938-39 season they played under the name Club Deportivo Euzkadi in the Liga Mexicana de Football Amateur Association,[42] one of the two major leagues in Mexico at that time where they won 7, drew 1 and lost 4 games,[43] eventually coming runners up in the league. The Spanish civil war ended in April 1939 so when the season ended the team was broken up and as a reward each member received 10,000 pesetas. Some of the players stayed on in the Americas and joined teams there.

Franco years (1939-1975)

Between 1939 and 1975 the Basque football team played only twice due to General Franco's dictatorship which severely limited the freedoms previously enjoyed by the regions of Spain. The first time was on 25 June 1966 on the 50th anniversary of Real Unión's founding. A team made up of players from the Basque Country played Real Madrid in the Gal Stadium in Irun, losing 0-2.[44] Playing for the Basque Country were Carmelo Cedrún, (Alarcia), Gorriti, Martínez, Marigil, (Zabala), Azcárate, (Iruretagoyena), Iguarán, Amas, Dionisio Urreizti, Landa, (Chapela), Mauri, (Mendiluce) and Erro.[45] Don Santiago Bernabéu had the honour of kicking off.[46]

The second time was in San Mamés, Bilbao, on 21 February 1971 when a memorial match for Juan Gardeazábal was played between the Basque Country and Catalonia. The Basque Country lost 1-2.[47] Playing for the Basque Country were Zamora, Deusto, Irusquieta, Zugazaga, Echeberría, Lema, Guisasola, Estéfano, Santamaría, Arambarri, Ibáñez, Marañon, Fernando Ansola, Araquistáin, Rojo II, Urtiaga, and Ortuondo.[48]

Revival (1978)

The first game following the dictatorship was played on 2 March 1978 in San Mamés against the USSR.[49] The team were called the 'Selección Vasca' and drew 0-0.

Then on 16 August 1979 they played for the first time since 1938 under the name 'Euskadiko selekzioa' in the San Mames stadium during the Great Week of Bilbao, winning a victory against a League of Ireland XI (4-1). Controversy was caused before the match by the Spanish government deciding that the song of the Basque football Team (Gernikako Arbola - The Tree of Guernica) [50] should not be sung before the game. This resulted in the Lehendakari Carlos Garaikoetxea (the head of the Basque regional parliament) and the presidents of the regional councils and the mayors of the Basque capitals, all leaving the presidential box to sit elsewhere in the stadium, to show their protest. Osasuna Athletic Club was the only club with players called up who refused to release them for the match.[51] Iraragorri and Langara (two players from the 1937 team) kicked off and Iribar served as captain. The game was played as a fundraiser for a campaign promoting the Basque language called "Bai Euskarari", organized by Sustraiak, as a response to its suppression during the dictatorship.

A few months later the Basque football team won again in San Sebastian's mythical Atotxa Stadium, against Bulgaria (4-0). In 1980, in Vitoria, they lost 1-5 to Bulgaria. Other key matches include defeats to Cameroon (0-1) and Wales (0-1), and victory over Serbia (4-0). Then, in 2007,after 69 years without playing outside of Spain, the Basque Country faced Venezuela in San Cristobal (Venezuela), winning 4-3.[52] Their last game outside Spain before this had been during the Spanish Civil War on 18 June 1939 against Club Atlético Corrales in Mexico City.[53]

Name change (2007)

In 2007 the team's name was changed to 'Euskal Herria' (Euskal Herriko Futbol Selekzioa), and on 29 December they played a match against Catalonia in San Mames. The result was Euskal Herria 1, Catalonia 1.[54]

The name change, driven by the Basque Football Federation, was denounced by politicians from the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV),[55][56] including the Lehendakari, Juan José Ibarretxe,[57] and also the main Spanish political parties such as the Partido Popular (PP) and PSOE. For this reason the Basque Football Federation proposed returning to the team's previous name, 'Euskadi' (Euskadiko Selekzioa), for the match scheduled for December 2008 against Iran. 165 Basque players signed a statement announcing that they would not play unless the team was called 'Euskal Herria'.[58][59] The controversy went beyond the sports arena and against this statement were positioned many political parties such as the PNV, PSE-PSOE and PP, and supporting it were Eusko Alkartasuna, Ezker Batua and Eusko Abertzale Ekintza. At the heart of this dispute were the meanings of the two terms 'Euskadi' and 'Euskal Herria'. For the politicians of the PNV who favoured the name 'Euskadi' they saw this as the historic name used by the Basque football team since the 1930s and geographically they said it always included the Spanish Basque Country, the French Basque Country and Navarre (from where the players are selected), but to the players and the politicians supporting them, only the term 'Euskal Herria' had this geographic meaning and to them 'Euskadi' only referred to the Spanish Basque Country. This difference of opinion encompassed the nuances of the names, their history known or unknown, and changing public opinions towards what name should be used when referring to all people of Basque culture. In the end the match was cancelled.

In 2009 a consensus was reached to use the name 'Euskal Selekzioa'. However, discrepancies between the federation, players and ESAIT led to the match, scheduled again to be played against Iran, not to be played. In 2010 however, although there was still no agreement between players and federation, the players agreed to play the match to be played on 29 December in San Mames, between the Basque Country and Venezuela, which ended 3-1.[60][61] At this match the gold badge of honour of the Basque Football Federation was presented to Joseba Etxeberria, former player of Athletic Club Bilbao, for being the most capped player of the Basque team, and he was allowed to take the kick-off.

Recent activity

The Basque Country playing Catalonia in San Mames, 28 December 2014

In 2011 the Basque football team played 2 matches. Firstly on 25 May they visited Estonia winning 1-2,[62] and then on 28 December they played their last game in the old San Mamés against Tunisia, losing 0-2.[63]

In December 2012 they played Bolivia in San Sebastian winning 6-1.[64]

On 28 December 2013 the Basque team played its first match in the new San Mames stadium against Peru[65] winning 6-0.[66]

On 28 December 2014 a centenary match was played in San Mames against Catalonia to celebrate 100 years since the first match between these two sides. The game ended 1-1.

FIFA and UEFA membership

Several organisations including the Basque Government[67] and the Basque Football Federation are trying to persuade FIFA and UEFA to accept the Basque Country as an affiliated member.[68][69][70][71] There is a lot of support for this within the Basque Country. The United Kingdom provides one model for a sovereign state with more than one FIFA member, and the Irish Rugby Football Union provides another model for a team composed of players from two sovereign states. The Irish Rugby Football Union squad has players from both Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) and from the Republic of Ireland.
