Camberos, alongside teammates Santiago Sandoval and Samir Inda, recently played a crucial role in Mexico's U-20 team winning the CONCACAF Championship. This victory not only secured the title but also qualified the team for the 2027 U-20 World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Camberos was a standout performer in the tournament, earning the Golden Ball award and finishing as the top scorer.

"He is a player that we, of course, take into account, we want him with us. He excites me as a project," Milito stated in a press conference. This indicates that the young Mexican forward is firmly in the coach's considerations for the senior squad. However, Milito was clear that no player has an assured spot on the team.

He will have to fight for a place, just as each of the teammates have to fight to earn that opportunity.

The coach also acknowledged the strong performances of other Chivas players who represented Mexico in the youth tournament, including Sandoval and Inda, praising their overall contribution to the team's success.
