Fabinho height - How tall is Fabinho?

Fabinho was released by Philadelphia on 20 November 2019.

After the trade of Defender Sheanon Williams to the Houston Dynamo during the 2015 season, Fabio earned a starting role regularly in the Philadelphia Union lineup. A high point of the season was his entrance into the Union's third round match in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup vs. D.C. United. Following a red card to Union Forward C. J. Sapong in the 1st half, Manager Jim Curtin subbed in Fabio at a left wing position to gather some offense for the ten man squad. Originally down 1-0, the Union fought back to tie up the match on an Eric Ayuk goal. Later on in the 79th minute, Fabio made a run down the left side of the field in towards the box. Just in front of the frame of goal, Fabio sent a hard shot into the back of the net over the GK Andrew Dykstra also feeling pressure from a defender. The improbable comeback victory over the Union's I-95 rivals will mark the 2015 U.S. Open Cup run.

Alves earned his U.S. green card in summer 2015. This status also qualifies him as a domestic player for MLS roster purposes.

After a successful trial, Fabinho signed with the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer on 28 June 2013. He made his debut as a left midfielder substitute on 12 July 2013 against Chivas USA and assisted on the final goal scored by Conor Casey in a 3-1 Union victory. Fabio got his first start in a 29 July 2013 2-0 loss in a friendly against Stoke City Football Club. He would then make two other regular season appearances as a left midfielder substitute before making his first left back substitute appearance in the 3 August 2013 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire in place of injured starter, Raymon Gaddis. On 17 August 2013 in his first regular season start at left back, he again assisted on a Conor Casey goal in the Union's 2-0 victory over DC United. On 31 August 2013, Fabinho was named Sports Illustrated's MLS "Player of the Day" for his all-around performance in a 0-0 tie with Montreal Impact. On 19 October 2013, he scored his first career MLS goal against the Montreal Impact.

On 22 May 2012, Melbourne's biggest rivals Sydney FC announced that Fabinho would be invited to train with the club on trial for a 4-day period. After impressing then Sydney manager Ian Crook just two days into his trial, the club announced that they had signed Fabio to a two-year contract to fill the vacant left back spot left by Scott Jamieson who had moved to Perth Glory. He became only the second player to move to Sydney FC from rivals Melbourne Victory after Sebastian Ryall's move in 2009. After 18 appearances for Sydney FC, it was announced that Fabio and the club had decided to mutually terminate his contract on 22 April 2013.

Fabinho then played with Volta Redonda in Série D. He only played 3 games due to injury and then Melbourne Victory showed interest in signing him. On 25 August 2011, it was announced that Fabinho was leaving the team to join Melbourne Victory.

It was his first move outside of South America. At the end of the 2011–12 A-League season, Fabio and the club parted on bitter terms as it was widely reported that he had agreed to a new contract extension with the club, only for the contract to be withdrawn as the club sought a new management structure and hired Ange Postecoglou. He has expressed his displeasure regarding this incident to fans and media. Fabio scored 1 goal in his 23 games with Melbourne in a 2-2 tie against Sydney FC.
