Biography
Fabiana Alvin de Oliveira was born in Rio de Janeiro in the family of João Maurilio de Oliveira and Vera Alvin. As a child, she played football , but at the age of 12 she switched to volleyball , and the following year she was accepted into the Flamengo youth team. She started her sports career as an attacker, but due to the low growth, the game accent was on protective actions, and with the introduction in 1998, the role of libero mastered this game function.
