The Basque Football Federation reactivates the process to achieve the official status of the national team

The Basque Football Federation has reactivated the process to achieve the official status of Basque teams, both male and female, in all categories. It addresses the Spanish Superior Council of Sports and the Spanish Football Federation to open a new path for international recognition. The federation is based on Article 48.2 of the Spanish sports law, which allows autonomous sports federations to participate in international competitions. It will present documentation on the history and social importance of football in the Basque Country. This initiative is supported by the Basque government and political parties such as the PNV and EH Bildu, who celebrate the decision and claim the right of Euskal Herria to compete internationally with its own team.
