- When away from home, Gaciba never forgets to bring his gameboy and some fresh mate tea, known in Brazil as chimarrão.
- Gaciba was supposed to appear in the World Cup 2007 U20 in Canada, but was sent home because he or one of his assistants didn't pass the fitness test.
- Gaciba's favourite Brazilian referee is Carlos Simon (of course) and internationally Collina (who else) takes first place for him.
- Gaciba admits to being a bit superstitious. He always enters the field with 'various saints hidden in his underpants'.
- Leonardo Gaciba da Silva was voted best referee of the year 2006 by members of the site www.cartaovermelho.esp.br. Carlos Simon, Brazil's most famous referee at the moment, ended up almost last.
