Scarlett Camberos nominated for the 2026 Ballon d’Or | OneFootball

Today, the 2026 Ballon d’Or awards were announced, with Club América taking center stage at this global gala.

Scarlett Camberos, an América player, was nominated among the 30 best in the world to compete for this Ballon d’Or, which is awarded annually to the best female player on the planet.

This is because she was one of the best players for América Femenil, a team that managed to win everything this year, with the most important trophy being the Concacaf W Champions Cup, which made América the first Mexican team to achieve it.

Scarlett became the first Mexican player to place among the 30 best female players in the world, and it is an even greater achievement because she did it while playing for a Mexican club, since these awards are normally dominated by players who are in Europe or the United States.
