Osasuna Femenino Adds Fifth Team to Academy Structure, Strengthening Youth Development

New U-13 and U-14 team to be introduced for the 2025–26 season

Starting in the 2025–26 season, Osasuna Femenino will expand its academy structure to include five teams. The latest addition is a combined U-13 and U-14 team, aimed at strengthening the club's development pathway at the grassroots level. The women's academy, which had just one team in the 2016–17 season, will now boast five teams starting next year.

Until now, Osasuna Femenino maintained four teams in its structure, along with its training schools. Next season, the first team will compete in the second tier of Spanish football. Osasuna Femenino B will play in Tercera RFEF following relegation, while Osasuna Femenino C will compete in the regional league due to the relegation of the club's first affiliate. The academy will now include two additional teams, reinforcing the club's long-term commitment to women's football.

Last season, Osasuna Femenino introduced a Fútbol 8 team for U-11 and U-12 players. The creation of the new U-13 and U-14 side further strengthens the academy's foundation and aligns its structure with that of the men's program. This step represents continued progress in the growth of women's football in Navarre and seeks to promote football as the preferred sport among girls in the region.

Structure Led by Tajonar

Earlier this month, the club announced a structural reorganization of Osasuna Femenino, with Fundación Osasuna Femenino being absorbed by Fundación Osasuna, which oversees the club's youth academy. As a result, the entire women's football structure will now be managed from Tajonar, mirroring the setup of the men's system.

Tajonar will oversee the development of players from the U-11 to U-14 age groups and Osasuna Femenino C, which will be fueled by talent coming through the academy. The first and second teams will continue to operate under the direction of Osasuna Femenino's sporting management.
