**Maite Oroz Areta** (Spanish: [\[ˈmajte oˈɾoθ aˈɾeta\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Spanish); born 25 March 1998) is a Spanish professional [footballer](/source/Footballer) who plays as a [midfielder](/source/Midfielder) for [Women's Super League](/source/Women's_Super_League) club [Tottenham Hotspur](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C._Women) and the [Spain national team](/source/Spain_women's_national_football_team). She made her senior club debut with [Athletic Club](/source/Athletic_Club_Femenino) in 2015 and departed in 2020, then played for [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_Femenino) for four years before moving to England and joining Tottenham in 2024.

## Club career

Born in [Huarte](/source/Huarte), [Navarre](/source/Navarre), Oroz began playing football with boys in the village team [CD Huarte](/source/CD_Huarte) at the age of 6,[2] joining the youth system at [Osasuna](/source/CA_Osasuna_Femenino) in nearby [Pamplona](/source/Pamplona) aged 12. From an early age, she was marked out as a promising talent due to her skill in the ball, creativity, and confidence.[2][3] She played with Osasuna's senior team for a season in the [Segunda División](/source/Primera_Nacional_de_F%C3%BAtbol_(women)) before the women's section of the club was disbanded in 2014, leading her to join [Athletic Club](/source/Athletic_Club_Femenino).[4][5]

Oroz warming up with Athletic Club, 2017

Following a year with the club's [B-team](/source/Athletic_Club_Femenino_B),[2] she made her senior team debut in September 2015 and became a regular from then on, making 30 appearances in the [2015–16 Primera División](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Primera_Divisi%C3%B3n_(women)) as Athletic finished as champions. She played and scored in the subsequent [2016–17 UEFA Champions League](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_knockout_phase),[6] but the club did not progress beyond the opening knockout round.

In September 2018, Oroz sustained a serious injury, rupturing the [anterior cruciate ligament](/source/Anterior_cruciate_ligament) of her left knee during a league match against [Atlético Madrid](/source/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid_Femenino)[7] (one of several such injuries suffered by players in Athletic's various teams over a short period)[8] which ruled her out for the entire 2018–19 season.[9] Along with teammate and friend [Damaris Egurrola](/source/Damaris_Egurrola),[10] she decided to leave the club when her contract expired in the summer of 2020.[11] In July 2020, after she had already agreed to join [Real Madrid Femenino](/source/Real_Madrid_Femenino), a court case regarding the legality of 'compensation lists' for players in Spanish women's football confirmed that her new employers would not have to pay a fee to Athletic Club.[12]

She immediately became a part of Real Madrid's history by being one of the 11 players to start in their first official match in October 2020 (with almost a full team of new signings, they lost 4–0 at home to [Barcelona](/source/FC_Barcelona_Femen%C3%AD)).[13] Two weeks later she was among the scorers in their first victory, and by March 2023 had made her 100th appearance for the *Merengues*, reaching the milestone in the same match as goalkeeper [Misa Rodríguez](/source/Misa_Rodr%C3%ADguez).[14]

On 13 September 2024, Oroz signed for [Tottenham Hotspur](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C._Women) on a four-year contract.[15]

On 21 October 2025, Tottenham announced that Oroz had suffered a season-ending ACL injury during a [League Cup](/source/FA_Women's_League_Cup) game against [Birmingham City](/source/Birmingham_City_W.F.C.).[16]

## International career

Oroz was involved with Spanish national age-group teams at several levels and with much success, being a member of the [under-17](/source/Spain_women's_national_under-17_football_team) squad that claimed the bronze medal at the [2013 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship](/source/2013_UEFA_Women's_Under-17_Championship),[3] silver at the [2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup](/source/2014_FIFA_U-17_Women's_World_Cup) and gold at the [2015 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship](/source/2015_UEFA_Women's_Under-17_Championship);[2] the [under-19](/source/Spain_women's_national_under-19_football_team) squad which reached the final of the [2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship](/source/2016_UEFA_Women's_Under-19_Championship) then won the [2017 tournament](/source/2017_UEFA_Women's_Under-19_Championship); and the [under-20](/source/Spain_women's_national_under-20_football_team) squad who were runners-up at the [2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup](/source/2018_FIFA_U-20_Women's_World_Cup),[17] having also been involved in the [2016 edition](/source/2016_FIFA_U-20_Women's_World_Cup).[1]

In October 2019, she was called up to the inaugural squad for [*España Promesas*](/source/Spain_women's_national_under-23_football_team) (essentially Spain B), along with two clubmates.[18][19]

Oroz made her senior debut for [Spain](/source/Spain_women's_national_football_team) in 2021; she was a member of the squad that won the [2024 UEFA Women's Nations League Finals](/source/2024_UEFA_Women's_Nations_League_Finals), but was not selected for other major tournaments around that time.

She has also played for the unofficial [Basque Country](/source/Basque_Country_women's_national_football_team) and [Navarre](/source/Navarre_autonomous_football_team#Navarre_women's_autonomous_football_team) representative teams, making her debut for both in 2017.[20][21]
