Marcelo Bielsa, the current head coach of the Uruguay men’s national soccer team, is set to return to Bilbao, Spain next month where he previously coached Athletic Club. The match, scheduled for March 23 at the San Mamés arena, will see Uruguay face the Basque Country soccer team in a unique international friendly.
The Basque team, known as Euskal Selekzioa, is not recognized as an independent competitor by FIFA but has a history of playing against prominent international teams. This upcoming match against Uruguay, a two-time World Cup champion, is considered a significant event for the Basque side.
