Nuria Rábano Blanco (born 15 June 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left back for VfL Wolfsburg (women) and the Spain national team. She joined the German club on a free transfer following her exit from Liga F club FC Barcelona.[2]

Early life

Rábano started her career at Atlético Arousana.[3]

Club career

Deportivo la Coruña (2016–20)

While at Deportivo la Coruña, Rábano was a starter in their undefeated 2018–19 Reto Iberdrola campaign that saw them get promoted to the Primera División for the first time in their history.[4] In Depor's first Primera División season, Rábano helped the team reach 4th place before the league season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She made the decision to leave Depor at the end of the season because she felt it was time to play a higher level of football.[5]

Real Sociedad (2020–22)

At the end of the 2019–20 season, Rábano departed Deportivo la Coruña to sign a two-year contract with Real Sociedad.[6] In the 2021–22 season, Rábano was an essential piece of Real Sociedad's defense as they qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time in their history.

Barcelona (2022–2023)

On 17 June 2022, Barcelona announced the signing of Rábano on a two-year contract.[7]

On 4 July 2023, Rábano and Barcelona agreed to terminate her contract after she appeared sporadically throughout the season.[8]

International career

Rábano was called up to represent Spain at the 2017 Under-19 Championship. In Spain's second group stage match against Germany, she suffered a sprain in the ligament of her right ankle and was ruled out for the remainder of the competition.[9] Spain went on to win the competition against France to advance to the 2018 U20 World Cup. Rábano was included in the squad for that tournament as well, and was a substitute throughout the tournament as Spain finished as runners-up.[10] [11]
