Fabiana da Silva Simões (born 4 August 1989), known as Fabiana or Fabiana Baiana (by adding the demonym of Bahia, her home state), is a Brazilian football winger who plays for Centro Olímpico. In 2009 and 2010 she played professional club football in the US with Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). As well as teams in her native Brazil, Fabiana has played for Sporting de Huelva of Spain's Primera División and WFC Rossiyanka of the Russian Top Division.
Fabiana has represented the Brazil women's national football team since her debut in June 2008 and won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She retained her national team place for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany and the 2012 London Olympics. A right sided attacking player noted for her pace and skill, Fabiana can also function as an overlapping right back.
Club career
Fabiana's career began aged 15, when she moved from Bahia to Rio to play for the women's section of America RJ. After a brief spell at CEPE-Caxias, she was signed by Spanish relegation-battlers Sporting de Huelva.[1]
In the 2008 WPS International Draft, Fabiana was selected by Boston Breakers. The US club's coach Tony DiCicco picked England's Kelly Smith in the first round and Fabiana in the second. DiCicco described his Brazilian acquisition as: "very fast and fits that quick Brazilian mold with lot of flair".[2]
An existing anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained while playing for Corinthians kept Fabiana out of the Breakers' team until the last seven games of 2009, all of which she started.[3] Two games on loan to Boston Aztec in the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) had formed part of Fabiana's recuperation.[4] She was given another contract for 2010 and started 14 of her 21 appearances, adding a goal against Chicago Red Stars.[5] Ahead of season 2011, Boston made Fabiana a free agent, then made an unsuccessful attempt to sign her on reduced terms.
In August 2011 she joined Russian UEFA Women's Champions League contestant WFC Rossiyanka from Santos.[6] After another brief return to Brazil with São José, Fabiana transferred to Tyresö in January 2014, one of four Brazilians joining their compatriot Marta at the Swedish club.[7] On 9 April 2014 the work permit was denied by Swedish immigration bureau and in the aftermath, Fabiana returned to Brazil.[8]
International career
At the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship, FIFA.com reported that Fabiana contributed vital "skill and speed" to the Brazilian team which finished third.[9]

She trained with the senior team ahead of the 2007 Pan American Games, but was not selected for the final squad. Good form with Corinthians saw Fabiana break into the squad ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics.[10] She made her debut in a 2–1 win over Italy at Suwon Sports Complex in the 2008 Peace Queen Cup.[11]
