Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio equalled Peter Shilton’s record for the most career appearances (1390) during a Brazilian League match.
The Brazilian goalkeeper matched the record of England’s Shilton, who had held this prestigious title for a considerable period.
The legendary Cristiano Ronaldo ranks third on this list with 1283 matches in his professional career.
Brazil’s Rogerio Ceni occupies fourth place with 1265 appearances, while Czech Republic’s Frantisek Planicka rounds out the top five with 1187 career matches.
After achieving this milestone, Fabio stated: “I have to thank everyone who is part of my life, my father, my mother, my sisters, my friends, my wife…
I try to be a good human being. The important thing is to help my teammates. I am grateful, but without God nothing would be possible.”
