In the N64 game, the player based on him is the only one whose name is not similar to the real-life counterpart; instead, he is called by his nickname, "El Pibe." He was also in the computer game "Backyard Soccer 2001".

In 2006 a 22-foot tall bronze statue of Valderrama was placed by the Eduardo Santos stadium in his hometown Santa Marta, created by Colombian artistvAmilkar Ariza.
