Juan Bautista Ibaibarriaga (29 August 1898 – 23 March 1925) was a Spanish footballer who usually played as a midfielder for Arenas de Getxo.[1] The highlight of his career was scoring one of the winning goals of the 1919 Copa del Rey Final as Arenas defeated the powerful FC Barcelona 5–2.[2] Like many other Arenas Club players of that time, he played a few games for the Biscay national team, participating in both the 1922–23 and the 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cups, an official inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. Both campaigns ended in narrow defeats to Asturias (3–4) and Catalonia (0–1).[3]
