The 23-year-old forward, a U19 European champion and U20 world champion, arrives free after terminating her contract with Real Sociedad, where she had spent eight seasons.
Badalona women's team has completed the signing of Mirari Uria, a 23-year-old forward who comes from Real Sociedad. The player, who has spent eight seasons with the San Sebastián team, terminated her contract, which was set to expire in 2027, to embark on a new chapter at the Catalan club. This has been confirmed by the club itself, which strengthens its attack with a player experienced in the top tier and in international competitions with the Spanish national team's youth categories.
Uria, who made her debut with the first team of Real Sociedad in the summer of 2021, has accumulated 134 professional matches and 11 goals. In her first season in the elite, she scored three goals and provided two assists. However, last season her prominence was reduced: she was only a starter on seven occasions, in a campaign where Real finished third and qualified for the Champions League.
The player, who can play as a centre forward, attacking midfielder, or winger, has been an international at the youth levels of the Spanish national team, with which she became U19 European champion and U20 world champion. Now, in Badalona, she aims to regain consistency and enjoyment on the pitch.
“Mirari believes that her arrival in Badalona will help her grow as a person and as a footballer, and she hopes to enjoy football again after leaving Real Sociedad,” club sources state. The player becomes the fifth signing for the team managed by Marc Ballesté, in a project that aims to establish itself in Liga F.
The new Badalona is taking shape with high-profile signings. Alongside Uria are the legendary Vicky Losada, promising goalkeeper Txell Font, Lucía Martínez from Deportivo, and Izarne, who arrives from Nantes. Together, they complete a squad that aspires to compete in the upper part of the table.
Uria's arrival represents a quality offensive reinforcement for the Badalona team. Her ability to play in various attacking positions and her experience in high-level matches, despite her youth, make her a valuable asset for Ballesté's scheme.
Badalona, which competes in Liga F, seeks to make a quality leap this season. With the addition of established players like Losada and Uria, the club aims to fight for European spots. The local fans hope that the new forward will regain her best form and contribute goals and assists to the team.
Uria, originally from Éibar, was developed in the Real Sociedad academy, where she stood out from a young age. Her debut with the first team came in 2021, and since then she has been gaining experience. Now, in Badalona, she will have the opportunity to be a protagonist and showcase her full potential.
The club has not provided details about the duration of the player's contract, but she is expected to become a key piece of the attack. Badalona's next commitment will be this weekend, and it is not ruled out that Uria could debut with her new team.
