Osni Fontan (born 17 February 1948), simply known as Fontan, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a forward.
A striker, Fontan played for Caxias FC from 1968 to 1975 when, in 1976, he saw the club merge with América to give rise to Joinville EC. He was the first captain of the new club, first number 10, and the team's top scorer, becoming the first great idol in Joinville's history when he became two-time state champion.[1][2] After retiring, he still worked at the club in various roles, being football coordinator from 2016 to 2023.[3][4][5][6]
