Roberto Olabe del Arco (born 5 May 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left winger for UD Ibiza.

Club career

Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, Olabe represented Real Sociedad as a youth. After making his debut as a senior with the farm team in the 2014–15 season in the Tercera División, he was promoted to the reserves in June 2015.[1]

On 4 January 2016, Olabe terminated his contract with Sanse and immediately joined Villarreal CF's C side in the fourth division.[2] On 31 July, he moved to another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B in the same league.[3]

Olabe made his competitive debut with Atlético Madrid on 30 November 2016, coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Ángel Correa in a 6–0 away rout of CD Guijuelo in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[4] At the end of the campaign, he also helped the second team to promote to Segunda División B.[5]

On 31 August 2018, Olabe was loaned to Extremadura UD of Segunda División for one year.[6] He was a regular starter during his spell,[7] as they easily avoided relegation.[8]

On 7 July 2019, Olabe signed a four-year deal with La Liga's SD Eibar,[9] but was loaned to second-tier club Albacete Balompié on 4 August.[10] The following 22 January his loan was cut short, and he immediately moved back to Extremadura also in a temporary deal.[11]

Olabe appeared in his first official match for Eibar on 17 December 2020, playing 90 minutes in the 2–0 win against Racing Rioja CF in the Spanish Cup.[12] In January 2021, he was loaned to C.D. Tondela of the Portuguese Primeira Liga until 30 June.[13]

Upon returning, Olabe was assigned to the main squad now in division two, but he made only three competitive appearances before terminating his contract on 31 January 2022.[14] Just hours later, he agreed to a short-term deal at AD Alcorcón of the same league.[15]

On 7 July 2022, Olabe joined Deportivo de La Coruña on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[16] One year later, however, he moved to fellow Primera Federación club UD Ibiza one a one-year deal with the option for a further season.[17]

International career

Olabe represented Spain at under-17 level, earning three caps.[18]

Personal life

Olabe's father, also named Roberto, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he notably represented UD Salamanca before moving to coaching duties.[19]
