Mauro Bravo Fernández (born 30 July 1999) is a Spanish footballer currently playing as a forward for Brazilian side Amazonas.

Club career

Collegiate soccer

Born in Madrid, Spain, Bravo began his career in the academy of Atlético Madrid, before a stint with Irish side Greystones United.[2] He returned to Spain, spending time with amateur side Villanueva del Pardillo, as well as Rayo Majadahonda and Leganés, before joining the academy of Alcorcón.[2][3] He left Alcorcón to move to the United States in 2018, enrolling at the Iona University, where he joined their soccer team: the Gaels.[2] In 2020, he transferred to the Florida International University, where he played for the Panthers.[4]

Professional career

Following his senior year, he was offered a contract with MLS Next Pro side Orlando City B.[5] However, after less than a year with the club, he left for Greece, joining Irodotos of the Super League Greece 2.[6] Following one appearance for Irodotos, he was released by the club in January 2023.[7] Later in the same month, he moved to Bahrain, signing for Al-Riffa, where he would go on to score one goal, in a 7–0 win against Al-Budaiya.[8][9] He left Al-Riffa following the expiration of his contract in July 2023.[10]

In August 2023, Bravo was reported to have signed a professional contract with Brazilian Série B side Londrina.[11] The move was made official two weeks later, with Bravo signing a deal until the end of the 2023 season.[12] Following two appearances, Bravo left the club following the expiration of his contract, returning to Spain, but stating that he would "definitely go back [to Brazil]" if offered the chance.[10]

In January 2024, Bravo returned to Brazil, joining Amazonas.[13]
