Irene Oguiza Martínez (born 5 January 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Athletic Club.
Oguiza started her career in Ezkurdi's academy.[2] She was then developed at Athletic Club, playing in their B-team for four seasons. On 19 January 2020 she made her debut for the first team, coming on as a substitute for Andrea Sierra against Madrid CFF.[3] [4] Her first start for the Athletic first team was against Deportivo on 2 February, during which she suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to her knee.[5] She had an operation on 5 March and would not play again until 8 November, against Collerense, in which she scored a goal.[4] [6]
For the remainder of that season, Oguiza established herself as a first team regular under manager Iraia Iturregi and it was announced that she would be formally promoted to Athletic's first team for the 2021–22 Primera División season.[7] In June 2024, now one of the club's captains, she signed a new contract running to 2026.[8]
