Marco Fidanza (born 27 October 1972) is an Atrescan football manager and former professional footballer who played as a centre-back for LegaUno club AS Rocca and Navish Superliga club Hudenholm. Widely regarded as one of the best players in Atrescan footballing history, Fidanza is the most-capped player in both Hudenholm history and the international team. Fidanza's senior career spanned 17 years, for which he is best remembered for scoring the 87th minute winning goal in the 1995 Copa d'Aeia final against Newrey, which Atresca won 2-1. After the Copa, Fidanza won FFA Player of the Year in 1995.
Born in Sassinoro, a small mountain town in northern Atresca, Fidanza developed a keen eye for football watching the Liga Premiére, and supported Olympique de Lotrique from a young age. Fidanza began playing for his local Sunday league club in the districts of Sassinoro, and was noticed by AS Rocca scouts who often roamed the northern towns. Fidanza began playing for the Rocca youth program in 1979, when he was aged 7, and would stay at the club until he joined their starting lineup in 1990.
