Ariadna Mingueza García (born 22 March 2003) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Liga F club Granada. She began her career at FC Barcelona B.

Club career[edit]

Mingueza started out as a footballer by playing for her hometown club, UCF Santa Perpetua, when she was eight years old. After two seasons, she joined Unió Deportiva Centelles, and during her first and only season in that club her performance attracted the attention of youth scouts at Barcelona who signed her up for their U-14 team (Infantil Alevín).[4][5] From 2015 to 2021 Mingueza progressed through the different levels of the club's youth system until on 6 March 2021 she made her debut for the first team in Primera División against Santa Teresa, replacing Jenni Hermoso on the 80th minutes of the game.[6]

International career[edit]

Mingueza was first invited to train with Spain U-16 by Toña Is on 2 January 2018.[7] She then became a regular name on the call-ups as well as later on U-17 national team which was also helmed by Is.[8] At the 2019 UEFA Under-17 Championship Mingueza was part of the Spain squad that reached the semi-final, but they were defeated by the Netherlands and failed to reach the final for the first time since 2013.[9]

Mingueza's first game for the U-19 national team came during 2022 UEFA Championship qualification against Slovakia. She played the game in its entirety as the captain of Spain[10][11] After five wins and a draw throughout two rounds with Mingueza playing in every game (four times in the starting line-up),[12] Spain managed to qualify for the final tournament.[13] She scored her first national youth team goal in a 6–0 victory against Portugal.[14]

Personal life[edit]

Mingueza's older brother Óscar was also a Barcelona player (having joined La Masia in 2007) and later played for Celta de Vigo.[15]
