Omar Mascarell

Real Madrid

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Mascarell joined Real Madrid's youth system at the age of 17, arriving from local club Laguna. On 21 August 2011 he made his debut as a senior, playing with Real Madrid Castilla against Sporting de Gijón B in the Segunda División B. He contributed 24 games during the season (11 starts) as the B's returned to Segunda División after an absence of five years, scoring twice in the process. Mascarell started the 2012–13 campaign with the C team also in the third division, but was promoted back to the reserves after only a couple of weeks. He played his first professional match on 28 October 2012, coming on as a substitute for Pedro Mosquera for the last 17 minutes of a 2–4 home loss to Sporting de Gijón. Mascarell made his La Liga debut with the Merengues on 1 June 2013, replacing Mesut Özil late into a 4–2 home win against Osasuna in what was the last matchday. On 6 August of the following year, he joined English Championship club Derby County on a season-long loan. He made his debut for the latter five days later, substituting Will Hughes in the 53rd minute of a 1–0 victory over Rotherham United at Pride Park Stadium. On 3 August 2015, Mascarell moved to Sporting Gijón on loan for the season. He played 28 matches in all competitions, starting 20 in the league and helping the Asturians finally retain their top-flight status.

Spain

Mascarell is of Equatoguinean descent through his Bubi great-grandmother, while his paternal grandfather was born in the country. He won caps for Spain at under-18 and under-20 levels, also featuring once for the Canary Islands under-18 side.

Equatorial Guinea

In May 2012, Mascarell was called by Equatorial Guinea for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Tunisia and Sierra Leone. He travelled to Malabo, but nonetheless declined to play in any of the two matches because he had already appeared for Spain at youth level and did not want to give up on that option; according to the local press, the Equatoguinean Football Federation was completing the administrative procedures of his eligibility. In December 2023, Mascarell was pre-selected for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations; he did not make the final cut, however. He made his debut on 5 June 2024, in a 1–0 loss away to Tunisia for the 2026 World Cup qualifying phase.
