Juan Ibaibarriaga (original) (raw)

Juan Bautista Ibaibarriaga was a Spanish footballer who usually played as a midfielder for Arenas de Getxo. The dates of his birth and death are unknown. 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. 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).
