Fábio Silva

Fábio Silva of Borussia Dortmund was born in Porto, Portugal on 19 July 2002 (age 24).

Fábio Silva, born on 19 July 2002 (age 24), is a Portuguese striker with Borussia Dortmund. Still only in his mid-twenties, he has already had the sort of career that tends to make neat summaries slightly awkward.

His most productive league spell came at Las Palmas in 2024-25, when he scored 10 goals in 24 appearances. That was a useful return for a forward still trying to turn promise into a steadier senior record.

At Dortmund in 2026-27, Silva has made 12 appearances in all competitions and scored five goals. That includes three in seven Bundesliga matches, one in the DFL-Supercup and one in four Champions League appearances.

Silva’s career so far is that of a developing striker who has already moved through demanding environments and found goals in different settings. Dortmund is the current stage, with his recent scoring record giving him something firmer to build on.
