Fábio marks 250 games for Fluminense, discusses career longevity | OneFootball

Goalkeeper Fábio is experiencing a special moment wearing the Fluminense jersey. Upon reaching the milestone of 250 official matches for the club, the 45-year-old keeper celebrated the achievement and spoke about his longevity in his career.

“It’s a satisfaction and, at the same time, I feel gratitude. We know that every milestone reached has a story. I dedicated myself a lot to reach this mark. Over these 250 games, it’s been a long journey of sweat and dedication,” said the goalkeeper in an interview with FluTV.

Fábio joined Fluminense in 2022, at the age of 41, after playing for Cruzeiro for 17 seasons. In his three years wearing the tricolor jersey, the goalkeeper became one of the most important players on the team and won four titles: two Campeonato Carioca trophies, one Recopa Sudamericana, and the unprecedented Copa Libertadores in 2023.
