Damaris Egurrola

Early life

Egurrola spent her early childhood in Orlando, Florida, the second of three children born to a Dutch mother and a Spanish-Basque father (Pablo Egurrola Osa, a professional pelotari competing in American Jai Alai leagues); when he retired in 2006, the family relocated to his homeland in eastern Biscay in Spain's Basque Country.

Athletic Bilbao

After playing youth football at clubs in the Gernika area, Egurrola – who also showed a talent for tennis – signed for Athletic Club in 2014, aged 14, meeting the club's selective signing criteria due to her local upbringing. Following one season with their B-team, she made her senior team debut in December 2015, making six appearances in the 2015–16 Primera División as Athletic finished as champions, and became a regular from then on. Along with teammate and friend Maite Oroz, she decided to leave the club when her contract expired in the summer of 2020. In July 2020, a court case regarding the legality of 'compensation lists' for players in Spanish women's football confirmed that a new employer would not have to pay a fee to Athletic Club.

Everton

After announcing leaving Athletic Bilbao at the end of her contract, Egurrola drew interest from major European clubs, including Everton, which ultimately signed the midfielder on a two-year deal in early September 2020. Egurrola made her debut in the FA WSL on 3 October, in a 6–0 win over Aston Villa and quickly settled as an instrumental player for…

Through birth and descent, Egurrola was eligible to play for the United States, Spain, and the Netherlands. She was involved with Spain national team age-groups at several levels and with much success, being a member of the under-17 squad that claimed the silver medal at the 2016 UEFA U-17 Championship and bronze at the 2016 FIFA U-17 World Cup; the under-19 squad which won the 2017 UEFA U-19 Championship, (using her height to score a header in the final victory over France) – she also helped the U19s to qualify for the 2018 edition which they again won, but had moved to the higher age group by the time of the finals tournament – and the under-20 squad who were runners-up at the 2018 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Egurrola made her Spain senior debut in May 2019, aged 19, appearing as a substitute for the closing minutes of a 4–0 friendly win over Cameroon in the build-up to the 2019 FIFA World Cup, although she was not selected in the eventual finals squad. In October 2019, she was called up to the inaugural squad for España Promesas (essentially Spain B), along with two clubmates. She has also played for the unofficial Basque Country team. Two years after her appearance for Spain, in November 2021 the Spain national team coach Jorge Vilda stated that he had tried to call up Egurrola twice over the past few months, and to talk to her over the phone on multiple occasions; the player's agents refuted this, responding that these call-ups referred to the Promesas (under-23s) rather than…
