Jon Uriarte will remain president of Athletic until 2030
Uriarte has also held the presidency of the club between 2022 and 2026. In the Athletic elections, only one candidate, led by Uriarte himself, has been nominated by the Electoral Board for the next four years.
Jon Uriarte has been proclaimed President of the Athletic Club for the next four years, until 2030, on Saturday afternoon. Uriarte has also served as President of the Club between 2022 and2026. In the Athletic elections, only one candidate has been nominated, led by Uriarte himself, who has been appointed President by the Electoral Board for the next four years.
In October 2025, Uriarte announced his intention to remain in the presidency to head a candidacy. On 24 March, he called elections for 8 May, which will be four years since the previous elections in the red-white club in June. Uriarte's candidacy has been the only one to stand for election, so he will remain president for the next four years, without the members of Athletic having to vote.
In June 2022, Jon Uriarte managed for the first time to reach the presidency of the Athletic Club with more votes in the elections than Iñaki Arechabaleta and Ricardo Barkala. As president, the Basque team won a King's Cup in 2024 and played in the Champions League in the 2025-2026 season.
