Eunate Astralaga Aranguren (born 30 November 2005) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for SD Eibar, on loan from Athletic Bilbao.
Club career
[edit]Born in Berango (Biscay province, Basque Country), Astralaga started her career at Bizkerre FT in Getxo.[1] She joined Athletic Bilbao in 2017 aged 11,[2] working her way through the youth ranks culminating in a place with the B-team.
With high expectations for her future but behind international goalkeepers Adriana Nanclares and Mariasun Quiñones in the selection list at Athletic, in 2024 Astralaga agreed a contract extension running until 2027 but moved on loan to SD Eibar,[1] where she initially alternated with María Miralles for the starting role.
International career

She subsequently moved up to the under 19s and won the 2024 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship,[1] also featuring at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[2]
After showing strong form for Eibar, she received a first call-up for the senior Spain squad aged 19 in March 2025.[3]
Personal life
[edit]Her older brother Ander (born 2004) is also a footballer and goalkeeper who was playing for FC Barcelona Atlètic in 2025.[4][1][2]
