College career

Camberos played college soccer for the UC Irvine Anteaters women's soccer team from 2018 to 2021. She scored 13 goals and 7 assists in 22 appearances during her senior-year, including two hat-tricks. Due to her performance during her senior year, Camberos received the Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year award. [4]

Club career

Club América (2022–2023)

In 2021, Camberos registered her name in the 2022 NWSL Draft, but she was not signed by any club. [5] Camberos ended up signing her first professional contract with Club América of Liga MX Femenil on 30 December 2021, [4] and made her professional debut with the team in January 2022 in a match against Atlas. Born in San Diego, California, Camberos credited her father's lifelong affinity for Club América in her decision to pursue a contract with the team. [6] [7]

She scored 11 goals in 16 appearances during the Clausura 2022, finishing tied for third place with Stephany Mayor among all players in goals scored during the tournament, [3] and leading Club América in scoring. [6]

On 25 July 2022, Camberos publicly accused a fan of harassing her via false social media accounts and in person. Other Liga MX Femenil players joined her in talking about the harassment they regularly experience. [8]

In August 2022, Camberos participated in the 2022 The Women's Cup international club friendly tournament with Club América. She was named player of the match for her performance in América's win against Tottenham Hotspur in which she scored the match-winning goal. [9]

During the Apertura 2022 tournament, Camberos was a key player for América to return to a league final once again after four years, with noteworthy performances in the Liguilla phase of the tournament, with the most notable being her performance during the semi-final series against Chivas in which she gave two assists and scored one goal. [10] [11]

On 21 March 2023, Club América announced that Camberos would continue her career with NWSL side Angel City after Camberos requested the club to transfer her out due to safety reasons following multiple stalking and online-harassment incidents against her by a male fan, and the lack of guarantees by the Mexican authorities, whom were only able to execute a 36 hours house arrest against the harasser due to lack of regulation in Mexico's penalty code when it comes to harassment and stalking. In turn, Club América invited Mexican legislators to enact more strict laws against online-harassment, stalking, and gender-based violence. [12] Camberos' sudden exit from Club América and Liga MX Femenil due to the constant harassment she received made headlines in Mexico, and was seen by commentators as an example of the violence that women in Mexico have faced for years. [13] At the time of her exit, Camberos was considered to be Club America's best player, the captain of the team, as well as one of the best players in Liga MX Femenil. [14]

Angel City (2023)

Camberos was officially announced by Angel City as their new player on 29 March 2023, after paying a transfer fee to Club América. Camberos signed a two-year contract with the team. [15]

Scarlett Camberos made her team debut on April 2 coming on as a 67th-minute substitute in a 2–1 win versus Orlando Pride. In the last game of the season, Scarlett scored her first and only goal of the season in a 5–1 win over Portland Thorns that helped Angel City clinch their first ever playoff spot. [16]

Bay FC (2024–)

On December 12, 2023, Angel City announced they would be trading Camberos to NWSL expansion team Bay FC in exchange for $50,000 in allocation money and draft protection. [17]

International career

Camberos was first selected to the Mexico women's national football team on 25 August 2022, for friendlies scheduled against Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League and the New Zealand women's national football team in September 2022. She made her debut with Mexico in the match against New Zealand and scored her first goal with the team in the match against Angel City. [6] [18] [19]

Camberos was selected to represent Mexico at the 2023 Pan American Games held in Santiago, Chile, where the Mexican squad went undefeated to won the gold medal for the first time in their history at the Pan American Games, defeating Chile 1–0. [20] [21]
