Scarlett Camberos is a Mexico women’s national-team forward born in San Diego, California, whose professional career crosses the United States and Mexico. She is an especially valuable Footballopedia profile for American readers because she connects collegiate soccer, the NWSL, Liga MX Femenil and the emerging Concacaf women’s club competition. She first became known at Club América before spells with Angel City FC and Bay FC, then returned to América in 2024. Her career is not simply a transfer timeline: it illustrates how individual choices, cross-border recruitment and distinct league environments shape women’s professional soccer in North America. As of October 2026 she is associated with Club América Femenil.

Camberos grew up in Southern California and developed through the American soccer pathway before playing college soccer at UC Irvine. The university later reported that she signed with Angel City in March 2023 following professional seasons in Mexico. Her college background matters because it helps explain the attention she received in the Los Angeles market: she was a familiar Southern California player returning to a local professional team. For an accurate biographical profile, the American birthplace should not be mistaken for US women’s senior international representation. Camberos plays for Mexico, and dual-country career connections should be described through her actual national-team affiliation and club moves.

Camberos began her professional career with Club América in late 2021 and appeared in Liga MX Femenil play in 2022. She drew attention as a direct attacker who could attack space with speed, carry the ball and create chances from wide areas. UC Irvine’s athletics department reported that she played 41 matches and scored 18 goals over her early period at América before moving to the NWSL. Those numbers are tied to the period described by that source rather than a full lifetime total. Her first spell gave her a connection to one of Mexico’s biggest clubs and led to the opportunity to play professionally near her hometown in California.

Angel City announced her signing in March 2023. The Los Angeles club described a two-year agreement and a transfer from Club América; its announcement included Camberos’ enthusiasm about playing in the NWSL and near family in Southern California. For football fans researching an Angel City player, this is the same Scarlett Camberos later seen in América’s 2026 finals, not a second athlete with a similar name. She made 19 NWSL regular-season appearances for Angel City in 2023, with one goal and three assists, according to Bay FC’s later transfer release. Those totals are from that specific regular season, not combined with subsequent Bay FC matches.

Bay FC acquired Camberos from Angel City in December 2023 ahead of Bay’s first NWSL season. During 2024 she appeared 10 times in Bay’s league schedule, starting eight and scoring once, including a goal against San Diego Wave in May. In July 2024 Bay announced her transfer back to Club América for an agreed fee. These transactions create useful reciprocal links from her biography to both NWSL clubs, but neither club should be given América’s later trophies. The return to Mexico was a new chapter in her career, not a continuation of an unchanged 2023 roster.

Camberos contributed to América’s crucial May 2026 run. In the Clausura 2026 final against Monterrey, América won the second leg 3–0, and she scored one of the three goals, helping secure the club’s third league championship. The side then advanced through the Concacaf W Champions Cup finals stage, beating Gotham 4–1 in the semifinal and Washington Spirit 5–3 in the final. Camberos played a decisive role in both. Those are two different championships in different competitions and should appear as separate honors rather than a generic “2026 champion” line. Their relationship is best shown through links to both the league and regional championship pages.

Concacaf named Camberos Best Player of the 2025/26 W Champions Cup and credited her with nine goal contributions in the edition. The confederation’s award report discusses her semifinal goals against Gotham and her final performance against Washington Spirit. Individual goal and assist attributions in live match trackers can differ from postmatch reporting, particularly when an own goal or deflection is involved. Footballopedia therefore links to the official final report and avoids inventing a minute-by-minute ledger in the biography. The key verified achievement is that she was officially honored as the tournament’s outstanding player after América became the first Mexican winner.

Camberos’ story belongs at the intersection of Mexican women’s soccer and the American professional game. It links UC Irvine, Angel City, Bay FC, Club América, Liga MX Femenil, and the Concacaf W Champions Cup. She is often described as an attacking winger, but tactical deployment varies by coach and opponent; a position label should not be used to imply she always played the same role. Her profile should use a clearly identified real photograph from 2025, not a generic NWSL image or another player’s portrait. A future child page about the 2026 América–Gotham semifinal could add value if built on a complete official match report.
