Club Atlético Osasuna (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkluβ aðˈletiko osaˈsuna], Athletic Club Osasuna), or simply Osasuna, is a Spanish football team based in Pamplona, Navarre.
Founded in 1920, it currently plays in Segunda División, holding home games at the 19,800-capacity El Sadar Stadium. The team tends to play in a red shirt with navy blue shorts, whereas the away kit differs from season to season.
"Los Rojillos" is the nickname of the club, meaning "The Reds". The word "osasuna" means "health" in Basque, used in a sense of "strength" or "vigour". For different reasons, rivalries exist between Osasuna and Real Zaragoza,Real Madrid, and other Basque clubs, particularly Athletic Bilbao.
Founded in 1920, Osasuna first reached Segunda División in 1932. It made it to La Liga three seasons later.
The club achieved its first ever UEFA Cup qualification in 1985–86 after finishing sixth, eventually reaching the third round in the 1990–91 edition. Finishing last in 1993–94, the side spent six years in the second level. In 2005, it reached the Copa del Rey final for the first time, losing after extra time to Real Betis.
