A young footballer from Urretxu, who plays for Alavés's second team, now has the chance to play with the first team in the First Division. The promotion of the Vitoria-Gasteiz club opens doors for the player to compete at the highest level.
Her passion for football dates back to childhood, influenced by her father and playing with her cousin. She took her first steps at the Urola team, where she stayed for five or six years. Subsequently, she moved to Beasain, to Goierri Gorri, for two seasons. From there, she went to Real for three years, and after one year at Eibar, she has spent four seasons at Alavés.
She arrived at Real at 14, playing in the second team. There, she shared a locker room with several footballers who now play in the first team or for other clubs. She has also played for the second teams of Eibar and Alavés. This year, she has trained all season with the first team and played with the second. She was called up to the first team for the Copa, although she did not play.
“"When Alavés called me, I decided to give football another chance: it's the best thing I've ever done."
Alavés will play in the First Division next season, and the footballer hopes to compete with the best. Despite having suffered a complicated injury, she remains optimistic. She has signed for two more seasons with Alavés and hopes to be part of the first team next campaign. She plays as a winger but also adapts to the forward and defensive full-back positions, highlighting her speed and vivacity.
She is very comfortable in Vitoria-Gasteiz, noting the friendliness of the people and the good quality of life. She is also pursuing her studies there, in her third year of Nursing. However, she maintains a strong connection with Urretxu, returning to her hometown on weekends to be with family and friends.
