Sheila Elorza Hernández (born 8 June 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Oviedo as a midfielder.
She began her senior career at Athletic Bilbao but played mainly for their B team, with only two Primera División appearances shortly before leaving the club in 2015. She then spent two seasons with EDF Logroño and one with San Ignacio[2] prior to joining Eibar in 2018; she was appointed captain,[3][4] and played an important role in the squad which gained promotion to the top tier in the 2019–20 season, at which point she agreed to extend her contract until 2022.[5]
Eibar survived their first season in the Primera División, then experienced a relegation followed by another promotion. Elorza left the club on 31 August 2023[6] and signed for Alavés a day later.[7] In July 2024, she moved to Real Oviedo, recently relegated to the third tier.[8]
Elorza never played for Spain at any level, but was selected for the non-FIFA Basque Country squad in 2021[9] (two 45-minute matches were played and it is not clear if they are considered full caps).
