Nuria Rábano, first new face for 2022/23

Nuria Rábano is the first new signing to the FC Barcelona women’s team for 2022/23. The left back, whose contract with Real Sociedad has expired, signed for the blaugrana until 30 June 2024 in the president’s office at Camp Nou this Friday in the company of Joan Laporta and the director responsible for the section, Xavier Puig.

Nuria was coming from a medical at Hospital de Barcelona and with the Medical Services at the Ciutat Esportiva.

Born in Santiago de Compostela 23 years ago, she has truly blossomed at Real Sociedad this year, her assists playing a big role in qualifying the Basques for the Champions League for the first time. She made her top flight debut five years ago against Deportivo La Coruña.

Her first day at Barça ended with a photo session at Camp Nou wearing her new kit.

Nuria Rábano says 

“It is not long since I started out in the elite and this is a big step forward for me. It means a lot to me personally and football-wise, so I’m very happy.”

“I’ve played against Barça, I know their history and I have had nice experiences in women’s football. Coming here is a train that doesn’t pass by very often. It’s a great opportunity.”
