Club América Femenil leads Liga MX as Geyse Ferreira finds form

Club América Femenil is currently dominating the Liga MX Femenil Apertura 2026 tournament, maintaining a five-match winning streak and leading Group B. The team is preparing for the 'Clásico Capitalino' against UNAM Pumas, a matchup where América holds a significant historical advantage, having not lost to Pumas in seven years.

Central to América's success is Brazilian striker Geyse Ferreira, who has become the team's top scorer. Ferreira, who has nine goals in the first five rounds of the current tournament, credited her resurgence to her time with the club following a difficult personal period in early 2025 involving the loss of her brother and a lack of playing time while in England.

Since joining América in early 2026, Ferreira has been instrumental in the club's recent achievements, including winning the Clausura 2026 title and the Concacaf W Champions Cup.
