Ready to wear the green!
FIFA has just given the go-ahead. Álvaro Fidalgo is officially eligible to defend the Mexican National Team. The one born in Oviedo, Spain, met all the requirements and now his future is in the hands of ‘Vasco’ Aguirre.
All doubts about his process were dispelled this Thursday. The governing body of world football confirmed the change of federation of the midfielder, who currently plays for Real Betis.
There was a doubt as to whether the current Real Betis player had reached the age of five in Mexico and whether the highest body would approve it, but today all doubts were dispelled.
This opens the door for Fidalgo to be called up for the next FIFA Date in March. Mexico will face Portugal in Mexico City and Belgium in Chicago. It would be their great opportunity to show their level and aim directly on the path to the next World Cup.
It had been suggested even before, for the friendly against Iceland in February, but that option was ruled out because it was not an official FIFA date and he was no longer in América.
Now everything is served. The Mexican Federation did its part, FIFA responded affirmatively. The ball is in Javier Aguirre’s court. If the technician considers it, you can now make that call without any impediment.
It is news that gives more options and depth to the Tri midfield. We’ll see if we soon see him with the shirt we all long for.
