Eunate Arraiza Otazu (born 3 June 1991) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left midfielder or left wing-back. Her main club, where she spent 12 seasons, was Athletic Club of Liga F,[1] having started her career with local team Lagunak. She is the only deaf player who has played in the top tier of women's football in Spain.[2]
In 2024 she left Athletic, having accumulated 312 appearances in all competitions (7th place in the club's historical rankings at that time).[3][4] She was honoured with a farewell ceremony and a last starting appearance - along with fellow departing veterans Garazi Murua and Yulema Corres - on the final matchday of the 2023–24 Liga F season, in which their side defeated Sevilla 2–1 at San Mamés.[5][6]
