CA Osasuna is a club with a history, an identity and a fan base like no other. A club that represents a region and culture so uniquely, refusing to play on any other terms but their own.
Only problem is, they've never won anything!
So when the club qualified for only their second-ever Copa Del Rey final in their 103 year history, we had to be there to witness such a special moment.
This isn’t just David v Goliath, it’s more than that. It’s Once In A Lifetime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the latest episode of the award winning series, 'Once In A Lifetime' a show that takes an anthropological dive into the football clubs and fanbases you don't know about, but really should, as they face the prospect of a rare chance at finally winning something.
For previous episodes:

It’s so cool that I’m able to learn about places I never would have even thought about if it weren’t for these quality videos. The history and passion that seeps through the screen is really potent that’s for damn sure.

...Sin olvidar al Rifle Pandiani, mi jugador favorito cuando era pequeño. Una bestia en el campo y una persona humilde fuera de él. No olvidaré la manera en la que se enfrentó al niñato mimado de Cristiano Ronaldo aquella vez y le dejó claro lo que era la humildad y la honradez, características que el portugués y muchos madridistas desconocían pero que en Osasuna eran y son esenciales.

[@Mirifaw_Akukazi_icici]

Man, sometimes I feel like i live under a rock.. I know about Basque especially Euskara being an enigmatic language of mystery,and on the other hand it's a minoritized language that faced decades of dictatorship and fascism. That and some modest info about Athletic Bilbao.. never bothered to question the meaning of Osasuna, nor even the city or the region it represents. The language struggle reminds me of us, the Berbers of North Africa. The passion ROJILLOS showed and the fierce t-shirt defending by the de la terra players (I have to mention Ez Abde, son of my terra) is to be valued in a thousand cups. Rich people (under a crown, in white djellabas) are also stealing everything in my country, but You have showed me a way to fight more than any philosopher would. Finally i loved seeing these all different Basque teams' supporters harmonically and amicably get along it's like they say: we respect these who deserve it. And you Osasuna deserve all respect from a HUS Agadir supporter. Third time will be THE time, but p*ta Madrid for every time.

[@pauloalonso8225]

In fact, there is a theory that relates Basque people (including Navarre) with Amazigh people (berebers) suggesting a common prerroman ancestry between northern africans and Iberic people. They sey Basque people have could be an isolate iberic group. This theory is based in the awsome similarity of Euskera numbers and Iberian numbers words.

[@Mirifaw_Akukazi_icici]

@@pauloalonso8225 I've seen this post on a Berber Facebook group about similar words between the two languages.. I'd like first of all to a native speaker of Euskara to confirm them: Eng/Ber/Eus There: Di-n / Din Stand up: aker/ akar A bean: abaw/ aba Leg: aḍaṛ / adar Immediately: din din / dun din Find!: Af / Af Get close: Aẓ/ Azo Back: Azagur / Azagoro Education: Tazra / Azeri Value: Azal/ Azal See: Azer / Azzar I: Nekk / nik House (like house Lannister/ Stark): Ayt /Aita (patriarch) To dry: iɣur/ aikor First: Amezwaru / Amezaga Mixture: Arregi / Arregi Moon: Ayyur(aggur)/ agur Hill: Aza / Aza Run: Azzel/ Azel Field: iger/ igar Ram: ikerri (ikeru)/ ekarri Lady: lalla / laia Small: imeẓẓi / mazi Fountain: Sala / Zala Girl: Ult / ulitu Wool : izimar / zamar Rope: Zirga / zirga Watery/ irrigated :Urti/ urtsu Top: Zibba / ziba Etc

[@pauloalonso8225]

@@Mirifaw_Akukazi_icici amazing! Euskera is also coincident with numeral words in iberic languague. I don't know if it's the case of Bereber language but I feel it 100% interesting

[@Mirifaw_Akukazi_icici]

@@pauloalonso8225 unfortunately no, I've checked there seems to be no connection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on66m3Sjr9lmo9Esi=sItRCGsdsrqzbU7I This Gouanch was a native language to Canary Islands, the numerals all similar to all other Berber languages, except for 9, which just means something like pre-10 🤯.. and everything things similar sometimes even the same words. So my take is if Euskara isn't related to Gouanch, then deffo isn't related to Berber ... Maybe the connection wasn't a result of having the same family language

[@Sceivious]

Such an incredible series. Really difficult to choose a favourite episode but this one is right up there. I love the lengths that you go to in order to provide us with as much cultural context as possible. Showing us why it means so much gets the viewer completely invested in the outcome. Spain in particular is such a fascinating place as a nation state comprised of multiple little kingdoms, each with their own cultural identity. It is so important to understand that.

[@0211brucetube]

These kinds of documentaries are what makes Copa90 so special; the starting point that football is cultural, and using it as a vehicle to explore a place. Excellent stuff

I stayed in Biscay for a beer festival and the passion these people have is absolutely incredible. Wow. It's next-level.

You should do a documentary on Racing de Santander. Founding club of la Liga, has a very rich history which represents the culture of its region Cantabria. Very similar to osuna in size and fan base being just under them in la ligas historical league standings. They also have standing seats in the stadium probably being the most “English stadium” in Spain being based on QPR’s stadium. Their stadium holds one of, if not the best atmosphere in Spanish football

[@osasunaitor]

Thank you for this superb report!! You captured exceptionally well the essence of Osasuna, the only thing that every Navarrese has in common. I'm of the opinion that without Osasuna, Navarra would end up collapsing in two halves. This club is not only about sports, it's a key part to our identity and stability as a region. It would have been nice to also mention that Osasuna is one of the few professional teams in Spain that doesn't operate as a private enterprise but rather as a membership club. This means that Osasuna members have the last word at every decision, which was the case for instance when the old stadium was renovated recently: all 20,000 members were called to the polls to decide whether the stadium should be renovated, and in the affirmative case which of the available projects they prefered. The amazing brand new stadium you see during the report is what the fans chose.
