Oddly, Filizola had a short-lived career as a professional football player for Correcaminos, the team representing the university of which he was the incumbent rector. On the last matchday of the 1993–94 Mexican Primera División season, he appeared for 29 minutes against Club América before being substituted.[3] Although he almost managed to score a goal at one point, he and manager Jesús Bracamontes were lampooned by the press.[4] Filizola, who was 44 years old at the time, defended his participation, saying that he had wanted to give an example of hard work and courage to the youth from Tamaulipas.[5]
