Career

edit

Nevado began her career as a child with hometown club Santurtzi and with Bizkerre (Getxo),[1] joining Athletic Club in 2016, aged 15. She made over 100 appearances for the B-team over five seasons, as well as featuring intermittently for the senior team from 2018.[2] She moved on loan to Alavés, newly promoted to the top tier, in 2021.[3] At the end of the season, she returned to Athletic and was a regular starter in the 2022–23 Liga F, with previous left-back Ainhoa Moraza having left the club to join Atlético Madrid.

At international level, Nevado was a member of the Spain under-17 squad that won the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay.[4] She played in qualifiers for the under-19s ahead of the 2019 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship but was not selected for the finals squad, and did so again for the 2020 tournament which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She has been selected for the unofficial Basque Country women's national football team, which plays only occasionally, making her first appearance in December 2022 against Chile.[5]
