Career

Eizagirre was playing for Añorga prior to joining Real Sociedad.[5] Following some goals scored for her club, Eizagirre earned a call up to the Spain senior national team.[6] She made her debut for the team on 23 October 2020 against Czech Republic, coming on as a substitute for Esther González.[7][8]

She was among 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 one of the dozen who were not involved 11 months later as Spain won the World Cup.[9][10]
