Ainara Manterola Ikutza (born 19 June 1995) is a Spanish football defender who most recently played for Añorga.[2] She is an under-17 and under-19 international.
After gaining attention for some of her performances at youth level for Orioko,[3] Manterola joined Real Sociedad at the age of 16 and played in the centre-back position.[4] After five years at Real Sociedad, Manterola transferred to Oiartzun for the start of the 2016–17 season.[5] On 4 January 2017, having played 13 out of the 14 fixtures prior, Manterola tore her cruciate ligament.[6] The injury meant that she would be ruled out of playing the rest of the season.[7]
Manterola comes from a sporting family and was born in Orio, Spain.[8] Her great-grandfather, Batista Oliden, was a rower, as were her two grandfathers. In addition to this, her father, Joseba, is a football coach, her mother, Isabel, was a basketball player and her sister, Leire, is a footballer.[9] Oliden won the Kontxako Bandera a record thirteen times.[10]
