Contents

Early life

Genro was born in Porto Alegre to lawyer and politician Luciana Genro, who ran for president of Brazil in 2014, and Roberto Robaína, who is also a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party. [2] His parents divorced while he was still a young child. [2] He is the grandson of Tarso Genro, a prominent member, and former leader, of the Workers' Party in Brazil. [2]

Club career

Genro was introduced to football through his paternal grandmother, who enrolled him in his first futsal school. [2] He joined the youth academy of Grêmio, spending ten years before quitting the club in 2008 to begin practicing politics. [3]

He returned to football in 2009, signing with Cerâmica, who were then playing in the Campeonato Gaúcho Segunda Divisão, the second tier of football in Rio Grande do Sul. [4] He had a brief spell with Guarani de Venâncio Aires in early 2010, before moving to Spain to join lower-league side Puertollano. [4]

He ended 2010 with Ferroviário, where he scored four goals in eleven Campeonato Cearense appearances. [1] [4] Ahead of the 2011 season, he signed for Campeonato Gaúcho side Canoas. [4] [5]

International career

Genro represented Brazil at under-15 level. [2]

Post-football career

Having struggled with the hardline attitude of his coach at Canoas, Genro decided to leave football after one season at the club. [2] [4] He had already signed up to become a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party while playing football, and he began to study law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul. [2] [4] Having graduated in 2017, he worked at the Criminal Execution Court, as an advisor to a judge. [4]

In 2017, following a request by Genro, Brazilian YouTuber Arthur do Val was told to remove a video he had uploaded on the Mamãefalei channel - linked to the Movimento Brasil Livre - in which he criticised Luciana Genro and her family, including accusing Fernando of embezzling R$30,000. [6] In September 2022, do Val was ordered to pay Genro R$30,000 in compensation for fake news relating to the accusation in 2017. [7]

Genro is a licensed lawyer. [7]
