Final Words

Osasuna is a Spanish professional football club located in Pamplona, in the autonomous community of Navarre. The club was formed in 1920, and played its first official game in 1924.

Osasuna is the only club in Spanish football to have never been relegated from La Liga, and the only club never to have played in the UEFA Champions League. The club has played its home games at the Bernabéu Stadium since its completion in 1998.

The team’s most successful period was in the 1970s, when it won four La Liga titles and reached the European Cup final twice. Since then, Osasuna has struggled to maintain its status in the top flight, and has only qualified for the Champions League twice.
