The Club Atlético Osasuna , CA Osasuna for short and also Osasuna Pamplona in the German-speaking area , is a Spanish football club based in Pamplona (Basque Iruñea or Iruña) in Navarra . It was created on October 24, 1920 from the merger of the two clubs in the city, Sportiva and New Club. The Basque word Osasuna means "health" or "strength". The players wear red home shirts with blue pants and black socks. Like Real Madrid , FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao , CA Osasuna has never been converted into a public company and is therefore owned equally by the club members.

The club plays its home games in Estadio El Sadar , which opened in 1967 and now has 17,286 seats. In December 2005, the stadium was renamed based on the regional tourism slogan "Reyno de Navarra", " Kingdom of Navarra ". Osasuna was the first Spanish soccer club to change the name of its stadium due to a sponsorship deal. The venue has had its old name again since 2012.
