Jorge Ciro Fucile Perdomo (pronounced: [ˈxorxe fuˈtʃile]; born 19 November 1984) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Club Nacional de Football. A defender, he is equally at ease on the right or left flank.[1]

After starting out at Liverpool Montevideo he moved to Porto in Portugal, going on to appear in 155 official games over the course of eight seasons and win 12 major titles, including five national championships and the 2011 Europa League.

An Uruguayan international since 2006, Fucile represented the country in two World Cups and as many Copa América tournaments.

Club career

Born in Montevideo, Fucile began his career with hometown's Liverpool Fútbol Club. On 31 August 2006 he was transferred on a one-season loan to FC Porto in Portugal, appearing in 18 games in his first year as the northerners won a second consecutive league conquest; at the season's close the move was made permanent, with the club signing the player to a five-year contract.

Subsequently Fucile continued to appear regularly for Porto, on both sides of the back four, adding a further two leagues to his honours while contributing with 38 matches combined.

In the 2011–12 season, under new manager Vítor Pereira, he lost his importance in Porto's first team – after Cristian Săpunaru's injury, central defender Maicon was chosen as his successor. In mid-January 2012 Fucile moved on loan to Brazilian club Santos FC in a one-year-long deal,[2] being released by his parent club exactly one year later but re-admitted in March 2013.[3]

In late December 2013, also not being part of new coach Paulo Fonseca's plans, Fucile intended to return to Uruguay after agreeing a deal with Club Nacional de Football for the 2014 Clausura,[4] but the deal fell through. He eventually signed in July.[5]

On 17 February 2014, Fucile was condemned to pay a €45,000 fine for beating two stewards at the Estádio da Luz, following a tunnel brawl during the 0–1 away league loss against S.L. Benfica on 20 December 2009.[6][7][8]

International career

Fucile made his debut for Uruguay on 24 May 2006, in a 2–0 friendly win over Romania in Los Angeles. Already as first-choice, he played four games at the 2007 Copa América as the national team finished fourth.[9]

Fucile was then selected for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, playing five times for the semi-finalists, including the knockout stage wins against South Korea and Ghana (the latter after a penalty shootout).[10] He also made Óscar Tabárez's squad for the following edition in Brazil.

At the 2015 Copa América, Fucile was one of two Uruguay players sent off in the 0–1 quarter-final loss to hosts Chile. It was his first and only appearance of the tournament.[11]
