Tarragona is marking 20 years since Nàstic’s promotion to Spain’s top football division, La Liga, a result that remains one of the city’s most remembered sporting moments. On 3 June 2006, the club secured its place in Primera División, and local fans still speak of that day with pride.
The decisive match was played at Chapín, the home ground of Xerez, where Nàstic achieved promotion in a result that many supporters had long hoped for. Local reports at the time described it as a major step for the club and a sign that it could compete at the highest level.
For Tarragona, the promotion meant more than a place in the top flight. It became a shared civic memory, with the city rallying behind the team and celebrating a moment that lifted the profile of local football.
Two decades later, the anniversary is a reminder of how strongly the club is tied to the city. Nàstic’s rise to La Liga still stands as a reference point for supporters, and it continues to shape how many people in Tarragona remember that period.
