Career

A technical second striker, Lo Faso joined the Palermo youth system at the age of 9.

He made his first team debut with Palermo on 12 August 2016 during a Coppa Italia game against Bari. On 6 November 2016, he also made his Serie A debut in a match against AC Milan. He played a total of ten league games during the 2016–17 season.

In August 2017, he left Palermo to join Fiorentina on loan, with the right for the Viola to buy the player permanently by the end of the season. [1] However, he only managed to make two short first team appearances as a substitute throughout the whole 2017–18 Serie A campaign, and mainly being featured as part of the Under-19 team. In April 2018, he suffered a broken fibula, effectively ending his season and leading Fiorentina to renounce its transfer rights. He therefore rejoined Palermo for the club's 2018–19 Serie B season.

On 25 July 2019, he signed to Serie A club Lecce. [2] He made a single appearance for Lecce in Coppa Italia.

On 31 January 2020, he moved on loan to Cesena in Serie C, [3] making only three appearances.

In January 2021, after spending the first half of the season back at Lecce with just a spare league first-team appearance, he left the club by mutual consent. [4]

On 25 February 2021 he joined Serie C side Pistoiese. [5]

After finding himself without a contract following his short stint at Pistoiese, on 14 September 2021 Lo Faso signed a deal with Serie D amateurs Folgore Caratese. [6]

After one season with Folgore Caratese, on 7 September 2022 Lo Faso signed for Serie D fallen giants Livorno. [7]

After finding himself without a team for the first half of the 2023–24 season, Lo Faso returned to Sicily, signing for Serie D club Siracusa on 13 January 2024. [8] He left the club by the end of the season, also leaving football for good in order to join a seven-a-side football league established in Italy by a number of influencers. [9]

The club had its best season on the pitch since the 1998–99 season, originally finishing 4th with 74 points and securing a spot in the qualifying round of the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League.

Following a successful appeal, Fiorentina was admitted to play in Serie A the following season, albeit losing its Champions League slot and having to start the season with a 15-point penalty, removing any chance of mounting a genuine title challenge and building on the success of the 2005–06 season.
