Ignacio "Nacho" de Loyola Abeledo Rute (; born 5 January 1996) is a professional footballer from Spain who operates primarily as a left winger and currently represents the Thai League 2 side Chanthaburi.

Club career

Abeledo, a native of Huelva, Andalusia, entered the youth ranks of Real Betis in 2011 when he was 15 years old. He secured his first professional contract with the club on 15 April 2013.

While still part of the youth squad, Abeledo was included on the bench during a 0–1 defeat to Lyon in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League on 28 November 2013. He made his debut for the reserve team in the Tercera División in January 2014 and soon after appeared for the senior team as a late substitute in a 1–0 victory against Athletic Bilbao in the 2013–14 Copa del Rey.

On 6 June 2016, Abeledo agreed to a three-year contract with FC Barcelona B, competing in Spain's third division. The following year, on 2 September 2017, he transferred to Málaga CF and was assigned to their reserve squad, Atlético Malagueño, which plays in the fourth tier.

After achieving a personal best of 19 goals with Málaga B, Abeledo terminated his contract and signed for Gimnàstic de Tarragona of the Segunda División on a two-year deal starting 4 August 2018. Limited opportunities led to a loan move to Deportivo Fabril on 8 January 2019, where he remained until June.

International career

Abeledo received a call-up to the Spain under-17 national team on 14 January 2013. He made an appearance off the bench nine days later in a 1–0 win over Italy.
