Club career

AaB

Abildgaard began his football career with Aalborg Freja before joining the youth academy of AaB at the age of ten. He was promoted to AaB's first-team squad in the summer of 2015 alongside Jannik Pohl from the club's under-19 side. Abildgaard made his senior debut on 20 July 2015, starting in a 1–1 draw against Esbjerg in the Danish Superliga. He conceded a penalty that led to Esbjerg's opening goal but later scored the equaliser. He made his Danish Cup debut later that year, featuring against local rivals Vendsyssel FF. During his first season, Abildgaard made 14 league appearances, including seven starts. Over the following two campaigns, he remained primarily a squad player. In the 2016–17 season, AaB finished the regular season in the relegation round and subsequently qualified for the European play-offs, where they were eliminated by Randers. In the 2017–18 season, the club progressed to the championship round, with Abildgaard making seven appearances, six as a starter. The 2018–19 season marked a breakthrough for Abildgaard, as he became a more regular presence in the starting lineup. However, his campaign was curtailed by a back injury sustained during the relegation round. In the first half of the 2019–20 season, he continued to feature regularly, albeit not consistently in the starting eleven. At that time, his contract with AaB was set to run until 2022.

He featured once during the tournament, playing in the group stage match against defending champions Germany, as Denmark were eliminated after the group phase. On 11 November 2020, Abildgaard earned his first senior cap for Denmark, appearing in a friendly match against Sweden.
