Uefa Europa League UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - 2017/18 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Estadio de San Mamés - Bilbao Thursday 2 November 2017 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Athletic Club Group J - Matchday 4 Östersunds FK Last updated 01/11/2017 03:15CET FedEx Match background 2 Legend 3 1 Athletic Club - Östersunds FK Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio de San Mamés, Bilbao Match background European debutants Östersund are the surprise frontrunners in UEFA Europa League Group J, but the Swedish club face a tough test of their credentials in Bilbao against an Athletic team desperate to post their first win of the section. Previous meetings • In the clubs' first meeting on matchday three, Östersund were poised to make it three wins from three in the group until Athletic's Iñaki Williams struck late on to secure a 2-2 draw. The Spanish side had opened the scoring through Aritz Aduriz, only for the hosts to go 2-1 up through Salisu Gero and Curtis Edwards. • Spanish teams are unbeaten in 19 UEFA encounters with Swedish clubs (W16 D3) since IFK Göteborg beat Barcelona 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League in December 1994. Form guide • After winning three and drawing one of their UEFA Europa League qualifying matches this season, Athletic have failed to win any of their opening three group games. The matchday-two home defeat by Zorya (0-1) ended the Basque club's run of five straight home wins in the competition. • Östersund have lost only one of their nine European encounters – 3-1 at PAOK in the play-offs – but have a positive balance away from home (W2 D1 L1). • Seventh in Spain last term, Athletic have successfully negotiated five of their six UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stages, including each of the last two. They were losing finalists in the 1976/77 UEFA Cup and 2011/12 UEFA Europa League. • First-time Swedish Cup winners in 2016/17, Östersund have reached the UEFA Europa League group stage in their debut UEFA campaign, having eliminated Galatasaray, Fola Esch and PAOK in qualifying. Trivia and links • The journey from Ostersund to Bilbao is around 2,500km. • Athletic have conceded 82 goals in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final – more than any other club. • Athletic midfielder Raúl García was a 2009/10 UEFA Europa League winner with Atlético Madrid. • Athletic's 36-year-old striker Aritz Aduriz top-scored in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League with ten goals. He needs one more to reach 20 for the competition, a landmark achieved by just two players – Radamel Falcao and Óscar Cardozo. • Suspended for next match if booked: Fouad Bachirou (Östersund). The coaches • Better known as 'Cuco', José Ángel Ziganda was a forward for Osasuna and Athletic, and later guided Osasuna to the 2006/07 UEFA Cup semi-finals as coach. He was handed the Athletic job in May 2017 after a six-year spell as B team boss. • Englishman Graham Potter has helped steer Östersund from the Swedish fourth tier to the UEFA Europa League since taking the reins in 2011. He played in England's lower leagues with teams including Birmingham, Stoke and West Brom. 2 Athletic Club - Östersunds FK Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio de San Mamés, Bilbao Legend Competitions Club competitions National team competitions UCL: UEFA Champions League EURO: UEFA European Football Championship ECCC: European Champion Clubs' Cup WC: FIFA World Cup UEL: UEFA Europa League CONFCUP: FIFA Confederations Cup UCUP: UEFA Cup FRIE: Friendly internationals UCWC: UEFA Cup Winners' Cup U21FRIE: Under-21 friendly internationals SCUP: UEFA Super Cup U21: UEFA European Under-21 Championship UIC: UEFA Intertoto Cup U17: UEFA Under-17 Championship ICF: Inter-Cities Fairs Cup U16: UEFA European Under-16 Championship U19: UEFA Under-19 Championship U18: UEFA European Under-18 Championship WWC: FIFA Women's World Cup WEURO: UEFA European Women's Championship Competition stages Other abbreviations F: Final GS: Group stage (aet): After extra time pens: Penalties GS1: First group stage GS2: Second group stage No.: Number og: Own goal 3QR: Third qualifying round R1: First round ag: Match decided on away P: Penalty R2: Second round R3: Third round goals agg: Aggregate R4: Fourth round PR: Preliminary round Pld: Matches played AP: Appearances SF: Semi-finals QF: Quarter-finals Pos.: Position Comp.: Competition R16: round of 16 QR: Qualifying round Pts: Points D: Drawn R32: Round of 32 1QR: First qualifying round R: Sent off (straight red card) DoB: Date of birth 1st: first leg 2QR: Second qualifying Res.: Result ET: Extra Time round sg: Match decided by silver GA: Goals against 2nd: second leg FT: Final tournament goal t: Match decided by toss of a PO: Play-off ELITE: Elite round coin Rep: Replay 3rdPO: Third-place play-off GF: Goals for W: Won PO - FT: Play-off for Final GS-FT: Group stage – final gg: Match decided by golden Y: Booked Tournament tournament goal L: Lost Y/R: Sent off (two yellow Nat.: Nationality cards) N/A: Not applicable f: Match forfeited Statistics -: Denotes player substituted +: Denotes player introduced *: Denotes player sent off +/-: Denotes player introduced and substituted Squad list D: Disciplinary *: Misses next match if booked S: Suspended QUAL: All UEFA qualifiers UEL: Current season total UEFA Europa League appearances from the group stage onwards prior to the current matchday UEL: Total appearances in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final only UEFA: All-time total appearances in UEFA club competition including qualifying Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.

  • Barcelona Beats Espanyol in Brutal Copa Cup Match
    Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016 Everton beats Man City in 1st leg of FA cup semi LIVERPOOL: A Merseyside derby in the English League Cup final was closer to reality after Everton beat Manchester City 2-1 in the first leg of their semifinal on Wednesday, with in-form Romelu Lukaku grabbing the winner. Lukaku scored his 19th goal of the season when he headed home late at Goodison Park, giving Everton a deserved lead to take to City for the second leg on Jan. 27. Liverpool, Everton’s close neighbor and biggest rival, leads Stoke 1-0 after the first leg of the other semifinal. The Merseyside clubs met in the 1984 final, which Liverpool won, during a period in which they were the dominant teams in the country. There are still 90 minutes to go in both matchups - the second legs are in three weeks - but Everton manager Roberto Martinez said his team will take confidence from the manner of this victory, outplaying City at times. Ramiro Funes Mori put Everton ahead in first-half injury time, steering home a rebound from close range after Ross Barkley’s shot was parried out, and the hosts were pressing for a second goal - perhaps over-zealously - when City equalized on a counterattack in the 76th. Sergio Aguero controlled a long clearance forward and had only two defenders in front of him on the halfway line. The striker laid in a perfectly weighted pass for substitute Jesus Navas, who had sprinted upfield in support and met the ball with a first-time diagonal shot past goalkeeper Joel Robles.

  • Basque Country: the Spain Internationals Playing for a Different
    Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team - BBC Sport 11/11/18, 717 AM Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team By Matt Davis BBC Sport Aritz Aduriz (second from left) in the Basque Country strip Spain's oldest goalscorer Aritz Aduriz played in an international friendly on Friday - but not for Spain. The 37-year-old captained a Basque Country team that also featured fellow Spain internationals Inaki Williams, Inigo Martinez and Asier Illarramendi against Venezuela - the world's 32nd best side. As they are not an 'official' team, they are not part of Fifa's rankings - but they still won 4-2 in front of a crowd of 15,000 at Alaves' Mendizorrotza stadium https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45834955 Page 1 of 5 Basque Country: The Spain internationals playing for a different team - BBC Sport 11/11/18, 717 AM in Vitoria-Gasteiz. "To be able to become official, it is necessary to show that you have a team capable of competing in international tournaments," said coach Mikel Etxarri. The squad is selected from players born in the autonomous region in northern Spain, as well as the neighbouring regions of Navarre and the French Basque Country. The Basque Country has a large degree of self-rule, its own language and cultural traditions, and Basque Football Federation general secretary Kepa Allica said Friday's match, their first since December 2016, was "more than a game". Players can play for both Spain and the Basque Country because the latter is not affiliated with Fifa or Uefa, but that is their ultimate goal.

  • Euskadi S'endú El Partit Del Centenari Superant Catalunya Gràcies a Un
    Esports | Redacció | Actualitzat el 26/12/2015 a les 23:20 Euskadi s'endú el partit del centenari superant Catalunya gràcies a un solitari gol d'Aduriz Les seleccions basca i catalana ofereixen un vistós i intens partit al Camp Nou | Festa però també reivindicació nacional a les grades Joan Verdú, controlant una pilota en una acció del partit Catalunya-Euskadi | FCF Partit entretingut, intens i vistós el que han disputat les seleccions nacionals de Catalunya i Euskadi en l'amistós d'aquest vespre al Camp Nou. Un solitari gol d'Aduriz al minut 39 ha permès el conjunt basc endur-se un matx en què Catalunya ha fet un bon paper però la mala punteria i la bona defensa del conjunt tricolor han provocat que aquests s'emportessin el trofeu del centenari. La primera meitat ha començat amb la selecció catalana dominant la pilota i intentant arribar a la porteria de Gorka Iraizoz. La basca, per la seva banda, feia una pressió força avançada i no deixava que els catalans toquessin amb tranquil·litat. Tot i que les oportunitats s'han anat succeint per una banda i altra, tant Pau López com Gorka Iraizoz han estat inspirats aturant els xuts de Verdú i Sergi Roberto pels quadribarrats i de Munian pels verds. Al minut 39, una bona passada cap al davanter centre basc, Aritz Aduriz, ha permès fer el primer gol de la nit. Els entrenadors han substituït gairebé la totalitat dels seus jugadors per a l'inici de la segona part, que ha estat dominada pels jugadors entrenats per Gerard López i Sergio González.

  • Eye-Watering New Health Service Charges for Expats
    SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2017 RABI AL-THANI 9, 1438 AH No: 17103 Kuwait Airways: Om Puri, star in Mahrez named Sit-in goes against Bollywood and African Footballer development3 West,24 dies at 66 of48 the Year Eye-watering new health service charges for expats Min 06º 150 Fils Visitors most affected by increased fees Max 21º KUWAIT: After Health Minister Dr Jamal Al-Harbi announced an increase in health service fees for expats by mid-February, the new price list prepared by the health ministry reveals increases that reach nearly 500 percent for residents and much more for visitors. The new fees aim to shut the door on those who visit Kuwait to take advantage of low healthcare charges, according to Al-Rai daily. The new charges reach a peak in the treatment of tumors with TheraSphere, at KD 5,000 for visitors compared to KD 500 for expat residents, while the previous charge was KD 100 only. Treatment of bone cancer with isotopes will now cost KD 1,000 for visitors and KD 500 for expats, while the previous price was a mere KD 50. Charges for x-rays and laboratory tests were also increased, such as thyroid gland testing, from KD 15 to KD 40 for expats and KD 90 for visitors. Thyrogen injection charges have risen to KD 500 for residents and KD 790 for visitors. The charges for tests for esophagus and gastric reflux, stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder and blood vessels range from KD 10 to KD 50 for expats and KD 100 for visitors.
