Luis Beguiristain Echeverría (22 December 1896 - Unknown) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender.[1]
Born in Bilbao, he moved to Madrid as a child, where he began his career in 1914 with Athletic Madrid, with whom he played for three years.[2] He also played for his hometown club Athletic Bilbao, making his debut on 12 August 1920 in a 3-2 friendly victory over Barcelona, but only made his competitive debut on 3 April 1921 in a Copa del Rey match against Sporting de Gijón at the San Mamés.[3] He then helped the club reach the 1921 final, in which he started in a 4-1 win over his former club Athletic Madrid.[4] He also helped the club win two North Regional Championships in 1920–21 and 1922–23. He then joined Real Sociedad, where he finished his career.
Being a player of Athletic Madrid, he was eligible to play for the 'Centro' regional team and in May 1915, he was a member of the side that participated in the first edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[5] He played in both games against Catalonia and the North team (a Basque Country XI).
