International football accounts for a further 7 seasons with Brazil, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Honours

11 titles are recorded, alongside 9 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.

The record lists 4 senior teams: Vasco DA Gama, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sevilla.

Over what period is Luís Fabiano’s career recorded here?

From 2003 to 2018. Coverage begins where the data provider’s own records begin, so a career that started earlier may show fewer early seasons than it had.

Which club did Luís Fabiano spend longest at?

Brazil — 7 recorded seasons, from 2003 to 2013. The column counts seasons in which he appears in that club’s squad, not appearances, so half a season on loan still counts once.
