Fucile began his career with hometown's Liverpool Montevideo. On 31 August 2006, he was transferred on a one-season loan to F.C. Porto, appearing in 18 contests in his first season as the northerners won a second consecutive national league and, at the season's close, Porto made the move permanent, signing the player to a five-year contract.
Subsequently, Fucile continued to appear regularly for Porto, on both sides of the back four, adding a further two leagues to his honours, while contributing with 38 matches combined.
Fucile made his debut for Uruguay on 24 May 2006, in a 2–0 friendly win over Romania in Los Angeles. Already as first-choice, he appeared in four games at the 2007 Copa América, as Uruguay finished fourth.[1]
Fucile was then selected for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, playing five times for the semifinalists, including the knockout stage wins against South Korea and Ghana (the latter after a penalty shootout).[2]
