Osasuna to Begin Construction of Two Artificial Turf Fields This Summer as Part of the Futuro Tajonar Project

Club Atlético Osasuna will commence construction this summer on two artificial turf fields as part of its Futuro Tajonar project. The club is moving up its original timeline to enhance the availability of training space for its youth academy teams in preparation for the 2025–26 season. The goal is to have both fields ready for use by September.

This decision responds to the growing demand for playing surfaces, driven by the expansion of both the men's and women's teams, as well as the club's collaboration with Unión Deportiva Valle de Aranguren. The three teams of Unión Deportiva Valle de Aranguren will train and play in Tajonar. In addition, the training center will again host the activities of 11 teams from Club Deportivo Iruña and 14 from Unión Deportiva Mutilvera, while also accommodating occasional needs from other affiliated clubs. The fields will also be used by Osasuna's male and female development programs, the "Tajonar Teams," Osasuna Genuine, Fundación Osasuna's football schools, and the regional under-12, under-14, and under-16 teams of Navarre.

Future phases to include natural grass fields and new stadium

In a later phase of the Futuro Tajonar project, Osasuna plans to build three new natural grass fields, one of which will be a stadium with an initial capacity of 2,800 spectators. Both Osasuna Promesas and Osasuna Femenino will be able to host matches at the venue. Upon completion of the whole project, targeted for the start of the 2027–28 season, the Tajonar training complex will feature 12 full-size fields: five with natural grass and seven with artificial turf.

Earthworks and parking development already underway

Construction of the two new artificial fields will take place in parallel with ongoing work that began on May 20, after the club received the necessary permits from the Valle de Aranguren municipal government to commence earthmoving on the site. In the coming months, work will progress on various platforms that will house the new stadium, first-team facilities, club offices, and training fields. All of this development will take place on land owned by Osasuna, which regained 166,000 square meters of previously lost property in 2014.

As part of this initial phase, work will also begin on a new public parking area. The club's permit will allow for the parking lot to be completed within a few months. The facility will provide around 600 spaces across 19,104 square meters on a parcel leased for 20 years from the Valle de Aranguren municipality.

Osasuna invests in long-term infrastructure

Osasuna will invest €18 million in expanding its training complex. The project includes construction of the 2,800-seat stadium, two natural grass fields, two artificial turf fields, and a two-story building to house both first-team operations and club offices. Much of the work will be funded by resources from LaLiga's "Plan Impulso," a fund to which the club had not previously had access. The remainder will be financed through club funds over the next two seasons.

In addition to the 166,000 square meters acquired in 2022 for Futuro Tajonar, the club recently purchased an additional 28,000-square-meter plot for €4 million (plus VAT). In total, Osasuna has recovered €10.5 million worth of lost assets since 2014, while also settling all historical debts with the regional tax authority. This recovery marks a significant financial milestone for a club that, until recently, held virtually no assets. Osasuna now reports nearly €11 million in property value at Tajonar on its balance sheet.
