Adriana Nanclares Romero ^[a] (born 9 May 2002) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Athletic Club and the Spain women's national football team. She previously played for Real Sociedad.

Club career

Nanclares started her career at Aurrera Vitoria. ^[3] She spent a year on loan at Oiartzun but, throughout that period, she still trained with Real Sociedad from Monday to Thursday every week and only trained with Oiartzun on a Friday. ^[4] Following an injury to Real Sociedad's main goalkeeper Mariasun Quiñones, in the 2019–20 season, Nanclares was presented with an opportunity to make her debut in the opening league fixture against Valencia. ^[5] She ended up playing in four games in September including the Valencia one. ^[6] During the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons, she and Elene Lete shared the goalkeeping duties almost equally in terms of appearances.

In 2023 she joined Athletic Club on a three-year contract, ^[7] soon displacing Quiñones as the regular starter.

International career

Nanclares made her debut for the senior Spain team in November 2024, playing the entirety of a 5–0 friendly victory over South Korea (club teammate Maite Zubieta also gained a first cap, though as a substitute). ^[8]
