Career[]

Sabia started his professional career in 2000 playing for Ben Hur in the Torneo Argentino A. In 2005, he won the Torneo Argentino A with the club and therefore won promotion to the Primera B Nacional (second division).

After one season with Gimnasia, Sabia joined Argentinos Juniors in 2007.

Sabia quickly established himself as a regular starter for Argentinos Juniors and in 2010 helped the team obtain the 2010 Clausura championship, the club's first top-flight honour in 25 years. The defender played in 14 of the club's 19 games during their championship winning campaign,[2] scoring one goal in the penultimate fixture win against Independiente.

In 2013, Sabia joined Vélez Sársfield on a free transfer, signing for a year and a half.[3]
