Fábio Alexandre Duarte Felício (born 2 May 1982 in Faro, Algarve) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for C.S. Marítimo as a midfielder.
Felício made his professional debuts with hometown's S.C. Farense, appearing in the top flight not yet aged 20. He continued to develop at neighbours S.C. Olhanense, then in the lower leagues.
After a single season with Académica de Coimbra, Felício established himself at União de Leiria, helping it qualify twice for the UEFA Intertoto Cup; his solid displays attracted the attention of Spain's Real Sociedad,[1] but he did not settle at all at his new club, and left in the following transfer window.
Before the start of the 2007 season, Felício signed with Russian Premier League club FC Rubin Kazan. He made his debut on 4 March, appearing as a starter in a 3–1 defeat to FC Rostov in the Russian Cup, but lost his place in the first team very soon, playing just two league games since the 5th round, and eventually went on to serve two consecutive loans, one of them back in his country, with C.S. Marítimo. In an interview, Rubin manager Kurban Berdyyev described Felício as "a heaven-born footballer, but a coward, not a fighter", criticizing him for his inability to demonstrate his talent during games.[2]
Felício spent the 2008–09 season in Greece playing for Asteras Tripoli FC, on loan. In late December 2009, he agreed on a return to his country, signing with Vitória de Guimarães.
