Unión Deportiva Cultural Txantrea Kirol eta Kultur Elkartea (Unión Deportiva Cultural Chantrea in Spanish) is a Spanish football team based in Pamplona, in the autonomous community of Navarre. Founded in 1952, it plays in Tercera Federación – Group 15, holding home games at Estadio Chantrea, with a capacity of 3,500 seats.[3]
Txantrea is the representative team for the neighbourhood of the same name, a working-class area with a strong sense of community identity, built in the 1950s to provide housing for migrants from rural areas of Navarre.[4] The club has a long-term collaboration agreement with Athletic Club[5][6] (renewed in 2017 for another four years)[7] which has seen several promising players move to the Bilbao team. Recent graduates include Borja Ekiza, Iñigo Pérez, Mikel San José, Gorka Iraizoz and Iker Muniain, all of whom played a role in their run to the 2012 UEFA Europa League Final.[8]
