Mexican women's football reached a new milestone on the international stage. On Monday, October 26, América and national team player Scarlett Camberos made history by becoming the first representatives from Mexico to receive nominations for the prestigious Ballon d'Or awards presented by France Football.
Although Scarlett Camberos did not break into the Top 20, her final ranking of 21st is a significant achievement for a debut nomination. In the rankings, she finished ahead of several internationally renowned players, including Vivianne Miedema, Rose Lavelle, Alex Greenwood, and Caroline Weir.
This appearance highlights the growing stature of Mexican women's football globally. Despite missing the top twenty, her presence at the ceremony in London marks a meaningful step forward for the development of the sport in the region.
