Frederico Chaves Guedes (born 3 October 1983), also known as Fred (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈfɾɛdʒi]), is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Fred began his career at América Mineiro before transferring to local rivals Cruzeiro in 2004. After two seasons there, he moved to Lyon of France in a protracted transfer saga, and won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles. From 2009 to 2016, Fred played for Fluminense, where he won two Campeonato Brasileiro Série A titles in two years (2010 and 2012) and the Campeonato Carioca (2012 – scoring in final), also being top scorer of the 2012 Serie A. In 2016, Fred signed for Atlético Mineiro.[3] After returning to Cruzeiro in 2018 and Fluminense in 2020, Fred retired from the professional game in 2022. He made his international debut for Brazil in 2005 and was selected for the 2006 and 2014 editions of the FIFA World Cup, and was also part of their victories at the 2007 Copa América and the 2013 Confederations Cup.
Fred is the second-highest goalscorer in the history of Fluminense, with 199 goals across all competitions, as well as the all-time second-highest goalscorer of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, with 158.[4][5] He also scored one of the fastest goals in professional football history while playing for América Mineiro, against Vila Nova during a Copa São Paulo de Juniores match. The goal was scored 3.17 seconds after the match started.[6][7]
