Maitane López

International career As a youth international, López was part of the Spain under-17 team that won the 2011 UEFA Women's U-17 Championship, though she did not play much. She then came second with Spain under-19 in the 2014 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship, having consolidated a starting position in the squad after being an injury replacement call-up. Following immediately after that tournament in summer 2014, López played internationally for the Balearic Islands beach football team.

After injuries to Virginia Torrecilla and Amanda Sampedro, López was called up to the Spain national team to face the Czech Republic in October 2019. She did not play in the fixture. Two years later, she made her debut for Spain in a friendly match against Morocco.

Personal life López is of Basque descent through her father. Two of López's uncles, Aitor and Luis López Rekarte, were professional footballers. Encouraged by Aitor's performances for Real Sociedad, Maitane López signed up for her first football team at the age of five. At that same age, she had moved to Mallorca from Águilas. Outside of football, she sings and plays guitar; she has posted videos on social media of various cover songs that she has performed.
