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]

Abaida scored his first professional goal on 19 November 2022, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Real Zaragoza.
