Will Álvaro Fidalgo get a Mexico call-up? Javier Aguirre weighs in | OneFootball

Álvaro Fidalgo has undoubtedly been one of the best players in the Liga MX in recent years, the Spanish-born player arrived at América in 2021 and has become an Americanist legend.

But there is a topic that has been talked about a lot for a while and it is his probable call to the Mexican National Team, and he is just about to be chosen to be part of it.

According to FIFA regulations, a foreign player can participate in the national team, as long as he is five consecutive years in the country and Álvaro will be complying with this rule in February 2026.

Because of this, Javier Aguirre, coach of the Mexican National Team confessed to TUDN that he is already analyzing Fidalgo and if everything goes well, it is likely that we will see him in the call for the month of March, which will be when there is a FIFA Date.

“They told me he will be eligible for March 2026; I have not spoken to him because there is still a long way to go before I can call him up, but I have been very aware of his evolution as a footballer. Nobody knew him but Solari and he was right; he brought a player who played in a third-level league and has become a star. He has exceeded the expectations that were had of him.

In addition, the kid became a Mexican citizen, he has been living in Mexico for many years and it seems that he wants to play; if he is eligible and is playing well, why not think about him for the Mexican National Team”

We will have to see if he has time to get among the chosen ones for the 2026 World Cup, as he will practically only have that date to show himself as a selected player, since the World Cup will be starting in June 2026, just three months after his first call with Mexico.
