América Women with several moves in this transfer window | OneFootball

América Femenil had a spectacular season in the first half of 2026, winning the Clausura 2026 and the Concacaf W Champions Cup.

Official competition will not begin until July 31, with the schedule still yet to be released, so the Azulcrema management has already started making moves in the squad ahead of what they will face in the second half of the year.

So far, the team has already added three signings and four departures, with several more moves to be announced in the coming days.

América Femenil’s new signings.

Karol Bernal, a 23-year-old Mexican player, plays as a left back, and her last team was Rayadas, where she spent several years. She is also a regular call-up for the Mexican National Team.

Celeste Espino, a 22-year-old Mexican player, plays as a goalkeeper, and her last club was Chivas; at her previous club she alternated in the position, but was more often a backup than a starter. She is a regular in the Mexico U-23 National Team call-ups.

Jaidy Gutiérrez, a 24-year-old Mexican goalkeeper, returns to the team after several years away and arrives from Puebla. She is Jana Gutiérrez’s sister, perhaps one of the reasons behind her signing.

The team’s departures.

Sandra Paños was América’s first departure; there were talks to renew her contract, but in the end the Spanish-born goalkeeper preferred to leave the team. She has signed a contract with San Diego Wade of the NWSL.

Chidinma Okeke, her first season was very positive, but unfortunately she declined over time, and since returning from injury she was never the same again, making very noticeable mistakes on the field. Her departure comes after the expiration of her contract.

Julie López, had only just arrived at the team a few months ago from Long Beach University after several trial periods, and it seems she ultimately did not convince the coaching staff.

Daniela Espinosa, the team’s second all-time leading scorer, leaves after a return that unfortunately did not go as expected; just when she was doing well, she tore her ligaments, and it has been very difficult for her to get back to the level we know from her.

Those are the confirmed departures; another exit or two is still expected, such as Annia Mejía.
