Club career

edit

Athletic Club

edit

Oihane Hernández began her career in the youth team of Betiko Neskak, a club based in Erandio. In 2015 she was signed by Athletic Club and initially played for the Basque club's B team in the Segunda División. In the course of her fourth season in the reserve ranks, Oihane made her first-team debut in a league match against Atlético Madrid on 5 January 2019.[2] Overall she made five appearances and one goal in the senior squad that season. Although Oihane started the 2019–20 season with the B team, she only played two games in the Segunda División before moving to the first team permanently. In 2020, she signed a new contract running until 2023.[3]

Athletic reached the delayed semi-finals of the 2019–20 Copa de la Reina, losing to EdF Logroño on penalties. In the championship, the Basque women finished fifth. In August 2021, Oihane won the Basque Cup with Athletic; after beating SD Eibar 4–0 in the semifinals, they won the final 2-1 against Deportivo Alavés.[4] Athletic had previously finished the Spanish championship in a disappointing eleventh place, and fared only slightly better in the two subsequent campaigns (seventh in 2021–22, tenth in 2022–23). They reached the Copa semi-finals again in 2023, but this time lost 4–0 to Real Madrid. By now established as a regular on the right flank, Oihane had made 109 competitive appearances, scoring three goals, for Athletic by the time of departing the club in the summer of 2023.

Real Madrid

edit

Oihane signed for Real Madrid in July 2023.[5] On 15 September, she made her debut for the club in a game against Valencia. [6]

International career

edit

Oihane Hernández took part in the UEFA Development Tournament with Spain U16 in May 2016. A few months later she was in the squad for the U-17 World Cup and took third place with her selection in the final round. Oihane made three appearances over the course of the tournament. At the 2017 U-17 European Championship finals, she reached the final with Spain but lost this on penalties to Germany. She won her first title at the U-19 European Championship in 2018, this time the Iberians beat their German peers 1–0 in the final, and Oihane himself played in all five final round matches.

On 2 September 2022, Oihane made her Spain senior national team debut in the penultimate game of World Cup qualifiers against Hungary, when she came on as a 77th-minute substitute for Olga Carmona.[7] A few days later she was in the starting XI against Ukraine.
