Fabio came out and shone at the age of 44. |
At 44, Fabio was still named in the starting line-up for Fluminense against European side Dortmund. His career spans two centuries, starting in 1997 and showing no signs of slowing down. The match against Dortmund was the Brazilian goalkeeper's 1,375th appearance.
In the opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Fabio had an experienced performance. In addition to his precise entries and exits, he also had 3 saves, helping the Brazilian representative keep a clean sheet against a highly rated European opponent.
When Fabio started playing professionally in 1997, his colleague Gregor Kobel was just born. In this match, the Dortmund goalkeeper also impressed with a series of miraculous saves.
Without Kobel's talent, Fluminense would have created the first shock at this year's FIFA Club World Cup, becoming the first team to knock out a European representative.
In Group F, Fluminense and Dortmund are the two candidates for the ticket to the next round. The two remaining clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) and Ulsan HD (South Korea), are not rated too highly.
