Club career

Fabão began his professional career with América-RJ in 2002 before having a brief spell with Vasco in South Africa. He went on to represent several Brazilian lower-division clubs, including Ituano and Angra dos Reis, before moving abroad in 2004 to join Al-Ansar in Lebanon, winning the domestic double in the 2005–06 season.

In 2006, he signed with Syrian side Al-Karamah, where he enjoyed notable success. During his first stint with the club, Al-Karamah won back-to-back Syrian Premier League and Syrian Cup doubles in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons, as well as making strong continental appearances, reaching the 2006 AFC Champions League final.[1] After short spells with Al-Kharitiyath in Qatar and Al-Ahed in Lebanon, he returned to Al-Karamah for a brief second spell in 2010–11.

Afterwards, he played for several teams across the Middle East and Brazil, including Linense, Caxias, Brasiliense, Nejmeh in Lebanon, Atlético Sorocaba, Zakho in Iraq, and AD Itaboraí-RJ.
