CA Osasuna

Club Atlético Osasuna (Spanish: [ˈkluβ aðˈletiko osaˈsuna], Osasuna Athletic Club), or simply Osasuna or CAO, is a Spanish professional football club based in Pamplona, Navarre. It was founded on 24 October 1920 and plays in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. The team's home ground is the 23,516-capacity El Sadar Stadium. Osasuna is the sole Navarrese club to have played in La Liga. Although the club has never won a national trophy, it reached the Copa del Rey final in 2005 and 2023. The club's best league finishes were fourth in 1990–91 and 2005–06. The team's regular home kit is a red shirt with navy blue shorts. "Los Rojillos" or "Gorritxoak" is the club nickname, meaning "The Little Reds". The word "osasuna" means "health" in Basque, used in a sense of "strength" or "vigour", which makes Osasuna the only team in La Liga with a Basque name. Their fiercest rivalry is with Real Zaragoza from the neighboring Aragon province. Secondary rivals include Real Madrid and some of the other Basque clubs, particularly Athletic Bilbao. These two clubs, along with FC Barcelona, are the only four professional clubs in Spain that are not sports corporations; instead they are owned and operated by club members, who elect the president. The president cannot invest his own money. Like other Basque clubs, Osasuna has produced several successful players through its cantera.
