Lima made her junior international debut for the Spanish U–21 team in 2023, during a Four–Nations Tournament in Düsseldorf.[5] At the tournament she scored on four occasions, finishing as top goalscorer. Later that year she represented Spain again at the FIH Junior World Cup in Santiago. Despite her nation finishing in eighth place, Lima was rewarded for her exceptional performance, winning the Player of the Tournament award.[6][7] This also led to Lima being recognised at the FIH Rising Star of the Year in the 2023 FIH Player of the Year Awards.[8][9]

Red Sticks

Following her outstanding Junior World Cup campaign, Lima was called up to the national squad.[10]

In 2024, Lima was selected to make her debut for the Red Sticks. She will earn her first international cap during the 2023–24 FIH Nations Cup in Terrassa.[5][2]
