América Women announce first signing for Apertura 2026 | OneFootball

América Femenil started the month with news about what’s ahead for the 2026 Apertura; first they announced Chidima Okeke’s departure, and now they have made their first signing official.

Karol Bernal, a 23-year-old left back, becomes the team’s first signing ahead of this second half of the year, when they will compete in the Campeón de Campeonas and the 2026 Apertura.

Bernal is a Mexican player who plays as a left back and is regularly called up to the National Team.

It is a very necessary signing, since Mariela Ramos was the only player in that position, and on many occasions Jana Gutiérrez had to play there due to the lack of players.

Will there be more signings?

The intention is to sign at least two or three more players, one from abroad and two Mexican players.

As for the Mexican players, one of them is shaping up to be Jaidy Gutiérrez, who would arrive to compete for the goalkeeper spot with Itzel Velasco and Valentina Murrieta.

New sporting director.

Just today they officially announced the arrival of Lucía Rodríguez as the new Sporting Director of América Femenil.

More than an arrival, it was more like a “promotion,” since she had previously been working with the club’s youth teams.
