Fidalgo Apologizes to Fans and Vows América Will Return Stronger in 2026

Álvaro Fidalgo spoke after América’s painful elimination in the Quarterfinals and publicly apologized to the fans. The Spanish midfielder admitted that the team did not live up to the standards they had established in previous tournaments and promised that the squad will come back stronger next season.

Fidalgo thanked the supporters for their unwavering backing and stated that he will work to regain his best form ahead of Clausura 2026. His message aimed to bring calm and accountability at a sensitive moment for América and its fan base. He emphasized that he witnessed daily dedication from his teammates and coaching staff in pursuit of another championship — a commitment that gives him confidence that titles will soon return to Coapa.

He also noted that on a personal level, he must reflect, regain rhythm, and prepare to once again be a key player. Fidalgo wants América to return with renewed strength for the upcoming season. During Apertura 2025, he played 16 matches, starting 12 of them, surpassing 1,000 minutes and contributing one goal — making him one of the most consistent players in the squad.

The midfielder wants to turn the page and focus on correcting what went wrong this semester. His message was one of the most anticipated by supporters after the elimination. Fidalgo closed with a promise that resonated deeply among fans — that América will compete for titles again and that the biggest club in Mexico will soon recover its winning identity.

His leadership keeps him as one of the locker-room references, even after a tournament that left more questions than celebrations.
