Fernando Gabriel Amorebieta Mardaras (born 29 March 1985) is a professional footballer who plays for Paraguayan club Cerro Porteño as a central defender.
He spent most of his career with Athletic Bilbao, appearing in 253 competitive matches over eight La Liga seasons and scoring four goals. He also competed professionally in England (with Fulham and Middlesbrough), Argentina and Paraguay.
Internationally, Amorebieta played for Spain as a youth, but later decided to represent Venezuela at senior level, appearing for the nation at the 2015 Copa América.
Born in Cantaura, Anzoátegui, Venezuela, Amorebieta joined Athletic Bilbao in 1996, aged 11. He met the club's eligibility standards having been raised in the Basque town of Iurreta and through his parents, both of whom hailed from the region. After progressing through the ranks – alongside Fernando Llorente– including CD Basconia (the farm team) and Bilbao Athletic (the reserves), he made his first-team debut in 2005–06, becoming an undisputed first-choice in the subsequent La Liga seasons.
