Federico Fernández (American Spanish: ; born 21 February 1989) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League side Newcastle United.
He began his career at Estudiantes de La Plata, where he reached the final of the Copa Sudamericana and won the Copa Libertadores, before moving to Napoli in 2011. He was used sparingly by the Serie A club, and spent time on loan at Getafe, before joining Swansea City in 2014.
Fernández made his full international debut in 2009 and has since earned over 30 international caps, scoring three goals. He was part of the Argentine squad which reached the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final.
Federico has Italian origins: his maternal great-grandfather was a native of Lacedonia, in the Province of Avellino. As a result, he has an Italian passport.
Fernández made his league debut for Estudiantes de La Plata on 14 September 2008 during the 2008 Apertura tournament in a 1–0 defeat to Vélez Sársfield. He played two games in Estudiantes' run to the final of Copa Sudamericana 2008.
