CA Osasuna

Spanish football team.

Club Atlético Osasuna is a professional football club based in Pamplona, Navarre, Spain. Founded on October 24, 1920, Osasuna has a rich history spanning over a century. The club's name, which means "health" in Basque, reflects its roots in the Basque-influenced region of Navarre. Osasuna plays its home games at El Sadar Stadium, which has a capacity of 23,576 spectators and is known for its intense atmosphere.

Osasuna's colors are red and navy blue, earning them the nickname "Los Rojillos" (The Little Reds). The club has spent most of its history oscillating between La Liga and the Segunda División, with their most recent promotion to the top flight coming in 2019. Despite not being one of Spain's most decorated clubs, Osasuna has achieved notable success, including a fourth-place finish in La Liga during the 2005-06 season, which remains their highest league position to date.

One of Osasuna's most significant achievements came in 2005 when they reached the final of the Copa del Rey, ultimately losing to Real Betis. This feat was repeated in 2023 when they once again reached the final, demonstrating the club's ability to compete at the highest level of Spanish football. Osasuna has also participated in European competitions, with their best performance coming in the 2006-07 UEFA Cup, where they reached the semi-finals before being eliminated by Sevilla.

Osasuna is one of only four professional clubs in Spanish football to be owned by its members, operating as a registered association rather than a sports corporation. This structure allows for a strong connection between the club and its local community, with decisions made democratically by its socios (members).

Osasuna's biggest rivalries are with Real Zaragoza and Athletic Bilbao. As of 2024, Osasuna continues to compete in La Liga.
