Álvaro Fidalgo set for call-up to the Mexico national team | OneFootball

For several months now, Álvaro Fidalgo's name has been circulating around the Mexican National Team. Even when he was far from being eligible for a call-up, there was already talk of plans to summon him.

A few weeks ago, Javier Aguirre, the coach of the Mexican National Team, spoke about this topic and admitted that he finds Fidalgo a very interesting player who catches his attention. However, he assured that he hadn't spoken to him yet since there were still several months before he could call him up.

Álvaro will be eligible for the Mexican National Team starting in February, which will be exactly when he completes five years in the country, thus complying with FIFA's rule regarding naturalized players in National Teams.

The journalist, Gibran Araige from TUDN, has revealed that the ‘Maguito’ will be called up by Mexico in January for the microcycle they will have in Central America, and his debut is planned for the FIFA Date in March 2026.

It is still too early to know if he will have time to make it onto the list for the World Cup in the middle of next year, but it is clear that he will have little time to showcase himself and must make the most of those prior call-ups he has with Mexico.

Interestingly, his debut could happen right at the reopening of the Azteca Stadium, which is planned for March, facing Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo.
