Irina Saratovtseva is a Kazakhstani football goalkeeper currently playing for Zvezda Perm in the Russian women's football championship.[1]

She started her club career in 2002 in the Kazakhstani championship, playing for Akcu Astana and, since 2006, for Alma KTZh, with which she won four championships and made her UEFA Women's Cup debut in 2008. Also in 2006 she started playing for the Kazakhstani under-19 national team.[2]

In 2009 she signed for Zvezda Perm, with which she won the Russian championship and was the reserve goalkeeper in the 2009 UEFA Women's Cup Final. She was also the first choice goalkeepèr of Kazakhstan in the 2011 World Cup qualifiers.

In 2010 she moved to Spain to play for Sporting Huelva in the Superliga. She left the team in the winter break,[3] and signed for Energiya Voronezh back in Russia. After Energiya renounced to its position in the top championship for financial reasons Saratovtseva signed for second-tier team Alfa-09 Kaliningrad. Meanwhile, she lost her position in the Kazakhstani national team through the 2013 Euro qualifiers.[4]

In 2013 she returned to Zvezda Perm, this time as a starter.[5]
