Maite Zubieta Aranbarri^[a] (born 28 May 2004) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder or central defender for Athletic Club.

Club career

Zubieta joined Athletic Club's academy aged 14. After progressing through the ranks (one season in the 'cadet' youth team, half a season with the newly-formed C-team before being assigned to the B-team, two further seasons there), she made her professional debut as a late substitute in a Liga F fixture against Madrid CFF in December 2022, aged 18,^[3] and her first start six weeks later in a defeat away to Alhama CF. On the back of her performances she was officially promoted from the reserves to the senior squad in May 2023, and signed a contract extension running to 2025.^[4]^[5] During her debut campaign she was mostly used in her preferred role of central midfield, but at the beginning of the 2023–24 Liga F season she became a regular starter as a central defender, with Athletic enduring an ongoing injury crisis in that position.^[6]^[7]

International career

Having had minimal opportunities to play for younger age groups due to restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zubieta made her debut for Spain at under-19 level in October 2021 against Portugal. She became a regular in the team and was a member of the squads which won the 2022 Euros in the Czech Republic followed by the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica^[4] (alongside clubmates Ane Elexpuru and Clara Pinedo).^[8]^[9] She was still young enough to take part in the 2023 U-19 Euros in Belgium and again returned home with a gold medal,^[10] this time accompanied by fellow Athletic players Jone Amezaga and Sara Ortega.^[11]

She has also been selected for the unofficial Basque Country women's national team which plays only occasionally, making her first appearance in December 2022 against Chile.^[12]
