Fabiano Ribeiro de Freitas (born 29 February 1988) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club AC Omonia as a goalkeeper.

Club Career

Sao Paulo and Olhanense

Born in Mundo Novo, Bahia, Freitas joined Sao Paulo FC in 2006, aged 18. During his four-year spell he only played two Serie A games, also being loaned to several modest teams. He made his debut in the top division on 13 October 2007 in a 1–1 draw against Fluminense FC at the Maracana Stadium where he saved a penalty, being part of the squads that won back-to-back national championships.

On 28 June 2011, Freitas signed with Portuguese club S.C. Olhanense. He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 13 August in a 1–1 draw at Sporting CP, and went on to appear in all league matches during the season as the Algarve side retained their division status.

Porto

Freitas moved to FC Porto in late May 2012, penning a four-year contract. He acted as understudy to compatriot Helton in his debut campaign, subsequently becoming a starter after an injury to the latter.

On 21 April 2015, in an away fixture for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League against FC Bayern Munich, Freitas' team lost 6–1, making it the worst in their European history. In the subsequent off-season, he was loaned to Fenerbahce SK.

Back at the Estadio do Dragao, Freitas missed the vast majority of 2017–18 due to an injury to his right knee. He earned a champions' winners medal in the last matchday after playing the last minutes of the 1–0 away win over Vitoria de Guimaraes, having replaced third choice Vana.

Freitas played all the matches save one in the 2018–19 edition of the Taca de Portugal, where his team reached the final.
