Club career

Youth

Amaiur began playing in one of the most prominent women's soccer teams in the lower categories of her native Basque Country, Añorga KKE. After different stages and an outstanding performance in the cadet category, she made the jump to the B team. Her progression continued to be good and she managed to debut with the first team in First National in the 2015-16 season.

Athletic Club

In the summer of 2017 she signed for Athletic B, which was competing in Primera Nacional, where he remained for three seasons with a performance of notable consistency: she managed to score more than 10 goals in all the leagues played with the reserve team.

In the 2018-19 season she achieved promotion to the new category called Reto Iberdrola (Spanish Second Division).

In the 2019–20 Segunda División, Sarriegi represented and finished the season with 13 goals, therefore making her the team's top goalscorer as they won the second division.[3][4] That season she debuted with the first team in the First Division on October 19 against Real Betis.[5]

Real Sociedad

The following season, she joined hometown club Real Sociedad and finished the 2020–21 Primera División season with 13 goals in 26 games.[6][7][8]

Sarriegi was named as one of Real Sociedad's captains for the 2021–22 season.[9]

In addition to becoming one of the faces of the team thanks to her renewal until 2025, Ella was awarded the number "7" and is considered one of the club's most important players. She responded to the club's confidence by signing her best season to date, both individually with 17 goals and 9 assists in the First Division, and at the club level, achieving second place in the league standings and first ranking of Real Sociedad for the Champions League.[10]

International career

Sarriegi made her debut for the Spain national team on 10 June 2021, coming on as a substitute for Marta Cardona against Belgium.[4][11][12]

On 16 September 2021, in her first start for Spain, Sarriegi scored four goals in a 2023 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Faroe Islands.[13][14] She was one of Las 15, a group of players who made themselves unavailable for international selection in September 2022 due to their dissatisfaction with head coach Jorge Vilda, and among the dozen who were not involved 11 months later as Spain won the World Cup.[15][16]

Personal life

Her older brothers Imanol[17] and Oier[18] are also footballers, mainly in Spain's lower divisions.[7]
