Fabián Larry Estoyanoff Poggio (born 27 September 1982) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a winger for Centro Atlético Fénix.
Born in Montevideo, Estoyanoff started his career at Centro Atlético Fénix in 2000, and was loaned to Peñarol two years later. In 2005 he signed a five-year contract with Valencia CF in Spain,[1] but never represented the club during his tenure, which included several loan spells.[2]
Estoyanoff made his La Liga debut in the 2005–06 season, appearing regularly as Cádiz CF[3] were relegated. The following campaign, he also featured consistently for Deportivo de La Coruña (although mainly as a substitute),[4] scoring the game's only goal in a start against RCD Mallorca at home, through a penalty.[5]
Valencia loaned Estoyanoff again for 2007–08, and he started out with Real Valladolid,[6] where a lack of playing time prompted another loan, with a return to Uruguay and Peñarol in January 2008.[7] There, he once again teamed up with Carlos Bueno; he played in Spain as a non-foreigner, having received an Italian passport.[8]
Estoyanoff was finally released by Valencia in June 2008, eventually agreeing on a move to Panionios FC, having a successful first season in the Super League Greece. In 2010, the 28-year-old re-joined former side Peñarol on loan, and the move was made permanent the following year.[9]
In January 2015, Estoyanoff signed for Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Professional League. On 5 May, after his team had suffered a 1–3 home loss to Lekhwiya SC in the AFC Champions League, he attacked opposing player Nam Tae-hee from behind in the tunnel, being subsequently fined in 50% of his salary.[10]
Estoyanoff made his debut for Uruguay on 25 July 2001 in that year's Copa América, playing the final 15 minutes in a 2–1 semi-final defeat against Mexico.[11] [12] Subsequently, he appeared at the 2004 – scoring twice for the eventual third-placed nation[13] – and 2007 continental tournaments.[14]
Estoyanoff's grandfather, Dimitar Stoyanov, was a Bulgarian stock breeder from the Sofia Valley who emigrated to Uruguay during the Balkan Wars (1912–13).[15]
