Club career

Vicente began her career as a teenager at Añorga in Gipuzkoa, moving on to the province's main club Real Sociedad in 2012. After three years in San Sebastián she signed for Athletic Bilbao, winning the Primera División title in her first season and staying there for six more. In 2022, after appearing over 200 times for Athletic, she elected not to renew her contract (as did teammate and fellow Spanish international Lucía García)[5] and joined Atlético Madrid.[6]

International career

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.[7][8]
