Federico Julián Fazio (born 17 March 1987) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Spanish club Sevilla FC on loan from Tottenham Hotspur as a central defender.
Fazio began his career at Ferro Carril Oeste, signing for Sevilla in 2007. He made 195 official appearances in eight years and scored 15 goals, joining Tottenham Hotspur in August 2014.
Born in Buenos Aires, Fazio started his career in the Primera B Nacional with Ferro Carril Oeste in 2005. He was bought by Spanish club Sevilla FC in late January 2007 and spent the vast majority of the remaining season with the second team Sevilla Atlético, which he helped achieve promotion to Segunda División.
Fazio started the 2007–08 campaign registered with both Sevilla teams. However, due to the absences of Javi Navarro (knee, entire season missed) and Julien Escudé (pubis, less than half of possible games), he ended up playing an important part on a side that reached a final qualification to the UEFA Cup. His first game with the main squad was on 25 August 2007 in the season opener, a 4–1 home La Liga win against Getafe CF.
Federico is a given name and surname. It is a form of Frederick, most commonly found in Spanish and Italian.
