Ouahabi was born in Mataro, Catalonia and made her first venture into football with Vilassar de Mar as a child.
Growing up, she spent a lot of time playing futsal with her brothers and such was her passion for the sport – which is renowned for developing excellent close control and individual technique on small indoor pitches – that at one stage she joined a futsal team along with eleven other boys!
She joined Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy in 2007 at the age of 13 and went onto spend a total of 13 years in their ranks as a youngster and then professionally either side of her brief stint with Valencia.
Whilst on the books of the Blaugranes, Ouahabi won five Spanish league titles, seven domestic cups, two Supercopa Femeninas, three Copa Catalunyas and one UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Her international career began with Spain’s Under-19s and she went on to make her senior debut against Romania in February 2016 and has represented Spain at three separate major tournaments.
She also helped her nation reach the Euro 2025 final, playing in four of their six matches in Switzerland that summer.
For City, Ouahabi has been a regular at left-back since joining the Club, with her positive running and excellent delivery has seen her grab the most assists for a defender in two of her three full seasons to date.
In February 2024, she agreed to a further two-year extension at City, committing her future to the Club until 2026, scoring her first goal for the Club two months later against West Ham United.
