Club career

[edit]

Ortega started her career at Comillas' academy.[4] Ortega made her senior debut in the Copa de la Reina against Racing in January 2022 at only 16 years old, scoring a goal after coming on as a substitute. She became the first woman to debut for Athletic Club at 16 years of age since Leyre Monente in 2016.[5] In February, she then debuted in the Primera División against Eibar.[6]

International career

[edit]

In January 2020, Ortega received a call up to join the Spain under-16 team for training.[7] Ortega made her debut for the Spain under-17 squad in September 2021 against Iceland.[8] She was a member of the squads which finished runners-up at the 2022 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, then won the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

She subsequently moved up to the under 19s, and won the 2023 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[9][10] Her progression at club and international levels closely mirrored her teammate and friend Jone Amezaga.[11]
