Arene Altonaga Etxebarria (born 25 February 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Eibar as a midfielder. [1] [2]
She began her senior career at Athletic Bilbao and made her Primera División debut in 2009, a week after her 16th birthday; however her progress was stalled by injury and appearances at that level were infrequent – she played mainly for the B team before leaving the club in 2015. She then spent two seasons with Oiartzun [3] [4] and one with Zaragoza [5] (suffering relegation from the top tier with both clubs in successive years) [6] prior to joining Eibar in 2018. [7]
Arene played a minor role in the Eibar squad which gained promotion to the Primera in the 2019–20 season, having suffered a serious injury (rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament of her right knee) at the end of the previous campaign in a Copa Euskal Herria match against her former club Athletic. [8] She had experienced a similar injury as a teenager. [4] At the end of that season she and the club reached an agreement to extend her contract until 2022. [9] Following the departure of Sheila Elorza in 2023, Arene was named as Eibar captain for the club's upcoming campaign back in the top division. [10]
Arene has been selected for the unofficial Basque Country women's national football team which plays only occasionally, making her first appearance in December 2022 against Chile. [11]
