Club career
Born in Polinyà, Barcelona, Catalonia to Moroccan parents, Abaida joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, from Fundació Calella.[2] In August 2017, after being out of action due to a FIFA ban on Barça, he joined Málaga CF.[3]
On 6 January 2021, before even having appeared for the reserves, Abaida made his first team debut by coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate David Larrubia in a 1–0 home win against Real Oviedo, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] His Segunda División debut occurred on 2 May, as he replaced Ismael Casas late into a 3–0 away loss against RCD Espanyol.
Abaida scored his first professional goal on 19 November 2022, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Real Zaragoza.
