Career

Martínez spent seven years with Guatemalan women's football championship club Unifut, before joining National Women's Soccer League expansion team Houston Dash in June 2014.[4] After failing to break into Houston Dash's first team, she moved to Spain in November 2014 and agreed a contract with Segunda División team Dínamo Guadalajara.[5] After hitting nine goals in her first season she moved to Madrid-based Primera División club Rayo Vallecano,[6] then signed for Sporting Huelva a year later.[7]

Her main characteristics are speed, dribbling and game vision. She started playing soccer at a very young age, at 3 years old her parents bought her her first soccer shoes. The skill and energy in the sport was noticed from an early age. Her first team was at age 9 in a league of the mars field, in the team "Travesuras", being the first girl registered in the league and opening the door so that other girls could later compete in that league. She played in two men's teams, with the Travesuras and with the Estudiantes where, being a male league, she was once a scorer of the tournament. Her taste for sports were made in the Vienna-Guatemalan College, where she practiced athletics, swimming and different team sports, such as football, basketball and volleyball. In intercollegiate competitions "Analu" has more than 80 medals in the different competitions. She joined the school's women's soccer team at age 11, being the youngest and affectionately nicknamed her "chiquitina", got 2 goalscorer trophies and won the Austrian Cup 6 times, the German Cup and the Montessori Cup in 2006 and 2007.

At age 14 she made her debut in the National Women's League in Guatemala, playing only one tournament with the "Municipal" team. At age 17, almost at the end of high school studies, "Analu" made tryouts with the under 20 selection and which was called to be part of the under 20 selection of Guatemala. She had two participations with the under 20 team. In 2009, she had her first call for an absolute team and from that first call to selection, she continues to represent Guatemala and is currently the captain of the senior team.

After her first participation in selection under 20, she joined the Unifut team in 2007, being 6 times National champion and 3 times top scorer of the tournament. In 2009 the first challenges began, having to combine sports with university studies, "Analu" studied chemical engineering at the University of San Carlos in Guatemala and despite the difficulties of absence from classes for trips with the national team, she was able to finish her career in 5 years, achieving graduation in the following two years. In the university, she also had the opportunity to be involved in soccer, representing her faculty in interfaculty, inter university tournaments and representing the University of San Carlos in international tournaments, both in indoor soccer and football. With her participation in the national team she manages to open the first opportunity to play abroad and decides to take the risk and travel to Houston Texas, to perform some tests with the team in 2014, despite not getting a professional contract, the club gives you the opportunity to train with them for 3 months and be part of the club as a reserve player.

After her return to Guatemala, "Analu" decided to look for her dream of being a professional soccer player and with the help of some people, manages to find a link in Spain, with the second division club Dinamo de Guadalajara,[8] in which she managed to excel by achieving 9 goals in the competition. Her next step was important as she had the opportunity to test with the Rayo Vallecano[9] club in May 2015 and in which she signed for in the 2015–2016 season. The first season in first division of Spain, with Rayo Vallecano in Madrid, the results in the first Guatemalan soccer player in a professional league and first legionary, opening gap in Guatemalan women's football. With Rayo Vallecano, she had an excellent season and the interest of other clubs and sports clubs has opened up in Huelva,[10] who she has an offer to be part of in the 2016–2017 season. At the Sporting Club de Huelva, the season starts with a few minutes but the length of the season reaches a maximum level and becomes one of the protagonists of the sporting attack for the club that offers renewal for the following season. "Analu" takes advantage of her stay in Huelva, carries out Master's studies in economics, Finance and Computing with a specialty in Marketing and Big Data and those that end in November 2017.

The growth of "Analu" in the Spanish league is remarkable, which means that at the end of the second season at Sporting Club de Huelva, different clubs are interested in her. "Analu" after several days of uncertainty, eventually signed for Madrid Club de Fútbol Femenino in 2018,[11][12] which has one of the best quarry of women's football in Spain.
