Fabricio Assis de Souza Barbosa (born 27 January 1998), simply known as Fabricio, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club CD Tenerife. He also holds a Spanish passport.

Career

Born in Belém, Pará, Fabricio represented local sides Pinheirense and Desportiva Paraense and worked in a tire shop before being spotted by a Spanish agent.[1] He moved to Spain in February 2020 to play for AD Alcorcón's B-team, but was unable to be registered until November.[2]

Fabricio suffered a knee injury shortly after, being sidelined for the remainder of the season, but became a regular starter upon returning.[3] On 10 August 2022, he moved to Tercera Federación side UD Lanzarote.[4]

After again being a first-choice, Fabricio moved to another reserve team, CD Tenerife B also in the fifth tier, on 16 August 2023.[5] Despite impressing with the side,[6] he was unable to make a breakthrough in the first team as he was not an under-23 player, and signed for CD Unión Sur Yaiza in Segunda Federación on 5 July 2024.[7]

On 14 July 2025, Fabricio returned to Tete, now being a member of the main squad in Primera Federación.[8] Initially a backup option, he soon established himself as a regular starter, and renewed his contract until 2028 on 5 February 2026.[9]

Fabricio made his professional debut on 16 August 2026, coming on as a second-half substitute for Juanjo Sánchez in a 3–1 away win over SD Eibar.[10]
