Santiago Solari, a former coach of Fidalgo at América and currently an executive at Real Madrid, has expressed support for Fidalgo representing Mexico in the upcoming World Cup. However, Fidalgo has not yet confirmed his intention to play for the Mexican national team, stating that while he does not rule out the possibility, his naturalization was not specifically for this purpose.
