History of Osasun

It is part of Basque football culture. The name of the team translates from Basque as \"health\" or \"strength\" and it best reflects its spirit. When in 1920 a group of enthusiasts in Pamplon decided to create a football club, they had no idea that a hundred years later it would become a symbol of struggle and indomitability.

Osasuna spent the first decades** in regional leagues. The club first entered Primera in 1935, but then stayed for a short time. The real breakthrough happened in the 80s: the team not only returned to the elite, but also began to gradually establish itself among the middle class.

The main moment in the modern history of the club is the 2006/07 season. Then Osasuna finished fourth in La Liga and made it to the Champions League, although they lost to \"Hamburg\" in the qualifying round. In the same season, the club reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, which became the greatest European achievement.

\n
\"As always in the history of this team, after the highs came the lows. Relegation in 2014, financial difficulties, but \"Osasuna\" returned to Primera after two years and has not looked back since.\"

Osasuna Stadium

The home stadium of \"Osasuna\" is \"El Sadar\", opened in 1967. It is not as big as the arenas of Madrid or Catalan giants – the capacity is slightly more than 23 thousand. But the atmosphere here is such that opponents feel pressure from the first minute.

Basques are an emotional people, and this is felt in the stands. There is no room for indifference here – every match becomes a battle where fans play no less a role than football players.

In 2021 El Sadar underwent reconstruction - now it is a modern stadium, but the main thing is preserved: when Osasuna plays at home, even top clubs find it difficult to get points here.
