Osasuna history
Club Atlético Osasuna was founded on 24 October 1920 and is the only club from Navarre to have played in La Liga. The word osasuna is Basque for health, in the sense of strength or vigor, which makes it the only La Liga team with a Basque name. Fans call the side Los Rojillos, or Gorritxoak, meaning the Little Reds, and the usual kit pairs red shirts with navy shorts.
Osasuna have never won a national trophy, but they played in Copa del Rey finals in 2005 and 2023, and fourth place in 1990-91 and 2005-06 remains their best league finish. Like Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the club is owned by its members, who elect the president. Their biggest rival is Real Zaragoza, from neighboring Aragon.
