Fabio made his debut with Negeri playing against LionsXII on 13 April 2013.

He later fired in the equaliser in Negeri Sembilan's 1-1 draw with Kelantan cancelling Dickson Nwakaeme's early strike at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi and hit a brace in Negeri Sembilan's shocking 3-2 upset win against the same opponents Kelantan at the Sultan Mohamed IV Stadium in Kota Bharu.
