Bay FC’s Camberos returns to Club America after leaving over safety concerns

The 23-year-old forward returns to Mexico after a season and a half in the NWSL

Bay FC forward Scarlett Camberos has re-joined Club América for an undisclosed transfer fee, the NWSL side announced on Monday.

Camberos departed América to join Angel City FC in March 2023, requesting a transfer after she expressed concerns over her safety. The Mexico international had been targeted by a man who threatened and harassed her, and also hacked into her social media accounts.

After spending the 2023 campaign with Angel City, Camberos was traded to Bay FC ahead of its expansion season. The forward has made 10 appearances, including eight starts, scoring one goal for the California side this season.

“We are grateful for Scarlett’s hard work and commitment to Bay FC and her role in helping us lay the foundation in our first season,” said Matt Potter, Bay FC head of football and interim sporting director.

“This scenario moved quickly between clubs and ultimately with Scarlett and her agent. We believe we’ve reached an agreement that supports her desires and growth as well as ours as a club as we continue to build our squad 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, 23, was born in California and represents Mexico internationally. She started on Saturday as Mexico fell 1-0 to the U.S. women’s national team in a friendly.
