Antiguoko Kirol Elkartea (Sport Club of Antiguo in English) is an amateur youth Spanish football club based in Antiguo, a part of San Sebastián, in the Basque Country, Spain.
It acts as feeder club to Real Sociedad, twice La Liga champions in the 80's.
Antiguoko was founded in 1982, and did not even possess its own ground.
A number of famous players who appeared for Real Sociedad as well as other teams – and the Spanish national side – have graduated from the club, including Xabi Alonso, Mikel Arteta and Javier de Pedro.
Aritz Aduriz, Andoni Iraola and Ander Murillo were also youth products of Antiguoko, and went on to later appear professionally with Real Sociedad's Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao.
The Juvenil A squad play in the Group II of the División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol. The opponents in the league group include the academy teams of Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad and Osasuna, another strong youth-only organisation, Danok Bat, and other clubs whose adult departments compete at various levels from La Liga down to Tercera División. The Juvenil B team plays in the Liga Nacional Juvenil de Fútbol which is the lower division of the same structure.
