Club career
With 240 goals for the club in the Primera División (women) and 18 more in three UEFA Women's Champions League campaigns[2] she is Athletic Bilbao's all-time top scorer and appearance maker, overtaking the mark of 413 in the latter count set by Eli Ibarra in 2022, a few months before retiring on 423 aged 39 (however, Ibarra won five league championships compared to three for Vázquez).
Her 17 seasons at Lezama was also the most time with the club for a female player across its 20-year history,[4] notwithstanding the year she spent with Espanyol in the 2010–11 season[5] in which the Catalan club finished runners-up in both the league and the Copa de la Reina – Vázquez never won that competition, losing in one earlier final with Lagunak as a teenager in 2000[6] (by coincidence, one of her opponents that day was Vanesa Gimbert who retired alongside her as a teammate in Bilbao 22 years later)[7] and two subsequent finals with Athletic in 2012 and 2014.
International career
She played for Spain since the 2005 UEFA Women's Championship qualification.[8] In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda confirmed Erika as a member of his 23-player squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.[9] She was also part of Spain's squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[1]
