Overview

  • Javier Aguirre said Álvaro Fidalgo becomes eligible for Mexico in March 2026 under FIFA residency rules.
  • The América midfielder is a naturalized Mexican citizen but cannot be selected until that date.
  • Aguirre said he is monitoring Fidalgo’s development and will base any decision on club performances.
  • He signaled openness to a call-up if Fidalgo is eligible and playing well, without offering guarantees.
  • Aguirre warned that declining an invitation would end future consideration, and noted Fidalgo has only Spain U17 caps after joining América under Santiago Solari in 2021.
