Club career

São Paulo and Olhanense

Born in Mundo Novo, Bahia, [2] Fabiano joined São Paulo in 2006, aged 18. During his four-year spell he only played two Série A games, also being loaned to several modest teams. [3] He made his debut in the top division on 13 October 2007 in a 1–1 draw against Fluminense at the Maracanã Stadium where he saved a penalty, being part of the squads that won back-to-back national championships. [3]

On 28 June 2011, Fabiano signed with Portuguese club Olhanense. [4] He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 13 August in a 1–1 draw at Sporting CP, [5] and went on to appear in all league matches during the season as the Algarve side retained their division status.

Porto

Fabiano moved to Porto in late May 2012, penning a four-year contract. [6] He acted as understudy to compatriot Helton in his debut campaign, subsequently becoming a starter after an injury to the latter. [7]

On 21 April 2015, in an away fixture for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich, Fabiano's team lost 6–1, making it the worst in their European history. [8] In the subsequent off-season, he was loaned to Fenerbahçe. [9]

Back at the Estádio do Dragão, Fabiano missed the vast majority of 2017–18 due to an injury to his right knee. [10] He earned a champions' winners medal in the last matchday after playing the last minutes of the 1–0 away win over Vitória de Guimarães, having replaced third choice Vaná. [11]

Fabiano played all the matches save one in the 2018–19 edition of the Taça de Portugal, where his team reached the final. [12] [13] He was not featured in the domestic league, however.

Omonia

Fabiano signed a one-year deal with Omonia of the Cypriot First Division on 17 October 2019, as a free agent. [14] He made his debut three days later, in a 0–0 away draw with Anorthosis Famagusta. [15] [16] In January 2020, he sustained an injury which kept him out of action until the abandonment of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic; [17] on 9 June, he agreed to an extension until 2022. [18]

On 16 September 2020, Fabiano was in goal for a Champions League qualifier against Red Star Belgrade, saving two attempts in the penalty shootout to help his team reach the group stage of a European competition for the first time in their history. [19] He was crowned champion on the domestic front, a first for the club since 2010; [20] as a result, he was voted Footballer of the Year and also renewed his contract until June 2024. [21] [22]

In the 2021–22 campaign, Fabiano was involved in four shootouts, helping Omonia beat Anorthosis in the Cypriot Super Cup, [23] Flora Tallinn in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League [24] and Ethnikos Achna in the final of the Cypriot Cup; he prevented the opposition from scoring a total of six times. [25]

On 24 May 2023, Fabiano won the Cypriot Cup for the second year in a row. [26]
