Amanda Sampedro Bustos (born 26 June 1993) is a Spanish football midfielder, currently playing for Atlético Madrid in Spain's Primera División.[1]

A skilful attacking midfielder noted for her creativity and vision, she was part of the Spanish selection which won the 2010 UEFA U-17 Women's Championship then finished third at the subsequent 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[2][3]

In 2012 Sampedro was captain of the Spain team which reached the final of the 2012 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship, where they were beaten 1–0 by Sweden after extra time.[4] After the competition UEFA named her among ten "emerging talents".[5]

In September 2012 Sampedro was called up to the senior national squad for the first time, ahead of a UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying match with Romania.[6] In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda called Sampedro up to his 23-player squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.[7]

In March 2013 Sampedro was in the second year of a sports journalism course at King Juan Carlos University (URJC).[8]
