Athletic will close its preseason in terms of friendly matches with the duel scheduled for August 5 in Lasesarre, Barakaldo field, against Real corresponding to the Euskal Herria Txapela 2022 final. This tournament measures the teams who have scored the most points in the Basque derbies played throughout the last league campaign. The lions, eighth in the general final classification, concluded the last regularity championship with 14 points, Real added 12, Osasuna stayed at 4 and Alavés, relegated, finished with 2.
Osasuna is the current txapeldun of this championship after his victory over Real last year. The Donostiarras were thus unable to revalidate the title won an edition earlier against Osasuna himself. Eibar won in 2019 and Athletic in 2018. The 2017 one, between the lions and Alavés, was suspended due to a skirmish.
