Career & Clubs
Cabrera is the younger brother of former national team player Edy and both started playing football at JuCa de Izabal before moving to Guatemalan giants Comunicaciones. The brothers were separated when Edy joined Cobán Imperial. Prior to joining Major League Soccer outfit Real Salt Lake midway through the 2005 season, Cabrera spent ten seasons with Comunicaciones in his native Guatemala and again in 2006. He is a two-footed player that has been used on the left, right and center of his team's formations and has won four Guatemalan League championships between 1998–2005 and was also named MVP of the Guatemalan league in 2003. On 6 June 2008, it was confirmed at a local newspaper that he was being transferred to Danish Superliga club AGF Aarhus. Cabrera left CSD Comunicaciones on a free transfer following a contract dispute with the club in which three players from the national team filed for free agency with the football federation since the club was in arrears for over three months of salary obligations. He was released from his AGF contract on 28 November 2008. The club said that they liked him, and that he had adapted well into the team, but he did not fit into the Scandinavian style of play. He never got to play on the first team. Cabrera returned to his native Guatemala and signed a six-month contract with C.D. Jalapa on 11 January 2009 to play for them during the 2009 Clausura. He subsequently moved on to Xelaju.
Match fixing allegations and suspension…
He has been a regular member of the Guatemala national team since 2000, participating in the 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014 World Cup qualifying processes. He made his debut against Belize and has since collected 100 caps as of 12 November 2011, which makes him the second-most capped player ever for Guatemala. Cabrera has also been the captain of the national team often throughout 2007 including wearing the captain's armband for the nation's 3–2 victory over Mexico. On 27 May 2012, Cabrera was separated from the Guatemala National Team on basis of suspected " to arrange a match's result of Guatemala against Sudafrica on 2010 " as well as other arrangements which led to the defeat of his clubs at different opportunities. In June 2012, this was confirmed by a teammates, Luis Rodriguez and Carlos Ruiz. Currently Ramires is under FIFA investigation as well as by the Ministerio Publico of Guatemala for Treason, Money laundering and other accounts.
