Herri Harmaila Unveils Tifo as Support Shifts Indoors for Sporting Match
Athletic Club fans are set to show their unwavering support indoors during the highly anticipated match against Sporting de Portugal. Iñigo Cabacas Herri Harmaila, a prominent supporters group, has crafted a vibrant tifo display for this crucial Champions League showdown.
Shift in Support Strategy
Due to the match being labeled as high risk, all fan activities will be concentrated within the confines of San Mamés Stadium. As a result, traditional pre-match festivities will be absent. There will be no gathering at the Hotel Carlton, nor will there be a kalejira procession—a farewell march—leading to the iconic La Catedral stadium.
The Tifo Display
The tifo, a carefully coordinated display of colors and messages, aims to inspire the team and fans alike. Drawing on previous successes, including a memorable display for PSG, Herri Harmaila will unveil a powerful message of resilience. The theme encourages supporters to “refuse to give in” so that the stars of Athletic Club continue to shine brightly on the European stage.
Supporters’ Call to Action
To ensure the effectiveness of the tifo, the fan group is calling on supporters to take part in several key actions:
- Arrive early to the stadium.
- Adhere to the instructions provided by the stadium announcer.
- Keep flags in position and wave them as the team emerges.
- Engage in singing and chanting to create an electrifying atmosphere.
The goal is to transform San Mamés into a formidable “cauldron” from the opening whistle. This collective effort aims to propel the team towards a spot among the top 24 clubs in the prestigious competition.
