Nil Ruiz Pascual (born 21 February 2003) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for CE Europa.

Career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Ruiz represented UE San Ildefons and CF Damm as a youth. After impressing with the latter's Juvenil squad, he agreed to a two-year contract with FC Barcelona on 30 May 2022, being initially assigned to the reserves in Primera Federación.

On 14 July 2023, after being a backup to Arnau Tenas, Ruiz moved to another reserve team, Valencia CF Mestalla in Segunda Federación. Initially a starter, he lost his first-choice status to Vicent Abril, and later moved to third division side CE Sabadell FC on 29 January 2026, as a backup to Diego Fuoli as José Ortega was unavailable.

Back to a third-choice status after Ortega returned, Ruiz left the Arquelinats after their promotion, and was announced at fellow division three side CE Europa on 12 July 2026.
