"We are grateful for Scarlett's hard work and commitment to Bay FC and her role in helping us lay the groundwork in our first season," said Matt Potter, Bay FC's Head of Soccer and Interim Sporting Director. "This scenario changed quickly between the clubs and ultimately with Scarlett and his agent. We believe we have reached an agreement that supports her wishes and growth, as well as ours as a club, as we continue to build our team for the future. We wish Scarlett all the best as she continues her career and look forward to her return with her new club in the Summer Cup."

Camberos' career has been marked by ups and downs. Before her time in the NWSL, she faced serious challenges, including a case of gender-based violence that forced her to leave Mexico. The incident, which involved threats received via social media, led to the creation of protocols in the Liga MX Femenil to combat gender-based violence in soccer. Her courage in speaking out helped pave the way for important changes, benefiting not only her, but also other female players.

On her return to Club América, Camberos brings with her a wealth of experience gained in the NWSL, one of the most competitive leagues in world women's soccer. During her time in the United States, she showed her ability to adapt and thrive in a challenging environment, playing 36 games in all competitions and adding three goals and five assists. Her presence in America will certainly be a valuable addition to the Azulcrema team.

For many fans, the news of her transfer may seem like a step backwards, but in fact it is an opportunity for Camberos to continue her successful career in an environment where she has already proved her worth. Club América, with its infrastructure and support, will offer her the support she needs to grow even more as a player and as a person.

Women's soccer, especially in Latin America, is constantly evolving, and moves like Camberos' are essential for the sport's development. Her return to Mexico is more than just a transfer, it's an affirmation that talent and determination can overcome any obstacle. As she prepares to wear the América shirt again.

Scarlett Camberos' journey is a powerful reminder that soccer is much more than a game. It is a platform for change, growth and inspiration. Her return to América is an exciting chapter in a career that promises many more pages of success and positive impact.
