Mexican Ballon d'Or nominations
Overview
Mexican footballers Scarlett Camberos and Julián Quiñones have been named among the 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. Camberos, a forward for Club América, is the first Mexican woman to receive the nomination following a season that included titles in Liga MX Femenil and the Concacaf W Champions League.
Julián Quiñones, playing for Al-Qadisiyah, earned his nomination after strong performances in the Saudi Pro League and the 2026 World Cup. His coach, Brendan Rodgers, supported the selection, citing Quiñones as his league’s top scorer.
In response to the news, Charlyn Corral of Pachuca described the nomination as a “positive milestone for Mexican football.” However, Corral suggested that media exposure influences such recognitions, noting that Camberos’s club, Club América, is “highly media-centric” compared to Pachuca. Corral observed that despite being the IFFHS world’s top scorer during the 2023-2025 period, she has not received similar individual honors, implying that achievements at less prominent clubs may lack international visibility.
