Career

His youth playing was brought up at the Brazilian club Associação Atlética Ponte Preta. After showing good talent, Sport Club Internacional showed interest in him. After buying him, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista had gained an even bigger interest. After some time, they made a move.

After spending a couple years at Corinthians, he was transferred to Fenerbahçe S.K. in 2003. He was selected a couple times for Brazil after showing consistent performances for Fenerbahçe in the 2003-2004 season. In August 2006 his contract with Fenerbahçe was cancelled about his 6 months injury.

On January 2007, he signed 6 months contract with Germany side 1. FC Köln.

He's notorious for his presence in the attack, as shown in many games with his former club Fenerbahçe, having scored goals with headers from dead ball situations and even supported the forward line unexpectedly. He became a fan favourite with his spectacular dead ball goals for Fenerbahçe fans.

In the middle of 2007 season Fabio signed with Brazilian side Clube de Regatas do Flamengo a 6 month contract. He debuted on August 11 2007 against Clube Náutico Capibaribe in Maracanã being assigned by coach Joel Santana as the new team captain. Still in the first half he scored his first goal for the club, and since then started a strong connection with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo supporters.
