Playing for 1. FC Nürnberg

When Fabian was 18, he joined 1. FC Nürnberg, a big football club in Germany. He first played for their second team, called 1. FC Nürnberg II. This team plays in a league called the Regionalliga Bayern, which is a lower division. He played 31 games there, scoring 3 goals and helping with 3 assists.

In May 2019, Fabian got his first professional contract. This meant he was officially a professional player! He joined the main 1. FC Nürnberg team, which played in the 2. Bundesliga (the second highest league in Germany). He played his first game for the professional team on match day 4, coming on as a substitute.

In March 2020, the club announced that Fabian had tested positive for COVID-19. He recovered and continued playing.

Playing for His Country

Fabian Nürnberger was born in Germany. His father is German, and his mother is Bulgarian. This means he could choose to play for either the German or Bulgarian national team.
