Jorge Ciro Fucile Perdomo (pronounced: [ˈxorxe fuˈtʃile]; born 19 November 1984) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Club Nacional de Football. A defender, he is equally at ease on the right or left flank.
After starting out at Liverpool Montevideo he moved to Porto in Portugal, going on to appear in 155 official games over the course of eight seasons and win 12 major titles, including five national championships and the 2011 Europa League.
An Uruguayan international since 2006, Fucile represented the country in two World Cups and three Copa América tournaments.
Born in Montevideo, Fucile began his career with hometown's Liverpool Fútbol Club. On 31 August 2006 he was transferred on a one-season loan to FC Porto in Portugal, appearing in 18 games in his first year as the northerners won a second consecutive league conquest; at the season's close the move was made permanent, with the club signing the player to a five-year contract.
Subsequently, Fucile continued to appear regularly for Porto, on both sides of the back four, adding a further two leagues to his honours while contributing with 38 matches combined.
In the 2011–12 season, under new manager Vítor Pereira, he lost his importance in Porto's first team – after Cristian Săpunaru's injury, central defender Maicon was chosen as his successor. In mid-January 2012 Fucile moved on loan to Brazilian club Santos FC in a one-year-long deal, being released by his parent club exactly one year later but re-admitted in March 2013.
