Itziar Gastearena Artola (born 4 May 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a defender for Granada.

Club career

[edit]

Gaste started her career at Tolosa.[3] She was with Real Sociedad for seven seasons, making nearly 200 appearances for the Txuri-urdin and recovering from a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury to her right knee sustained in 2016.[4]

In 2018 she signed for Eibar, moving between the Gipuzkoan clubs along with three Real teammates.[5] A year later – along with goalkeeper Cris Cornejo, another of the group who had switched to Eibar – Gaste moved on to Alavés, of the same level,[6] and was a regular member of the team as they won the Segunda División Pro title and gained promotion to the Primera in the 2020–21 season.[7] In 2022 she joined Granada, and a year later was again part of a promotion-winning squad, this time via the playoffs (overcoming Osasuna then Deportivo de La Coruña).[8]

She has been selected for the unofficial Basque Country women's national football team which plays only occasionally.[9]
