Bernal transfers to Spirit from C.F. Monterrey of Liga MX Femenil
The Washington Spirit has signed standout defender Rebeca Bernal to a three-year deal in a transfer from Mexico’s C.F. Monterrey, the clubs announced today. The move involved a transfer fee paid to Monterrey by the Spirit.
"Rebeca is an exceptional talent in both the defending and attacking phases of the game,” said President of Soccer Operations/General Manager Mark Krikorian. “We expect her dynamic style of play to provide an immediate impact as we kick off this season with high expectations.”
Bernal joins the Spirit after spending the past eight seasons with C.F. Monterrey in Mexico’s top-tier Liga MX Femenil. The defender appeared in over 250 matches with Rayadas, leading the side to three Apertura titles (2019, 2021, 2024) and one Clausura title (2024). Bernal has tallied over 65 goals from the back line across her career.
“Blessed and ready. It's one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and it's going to be a challenging but rewarding experience,” said Bernal. “I'm excited to get to Washington, play alongside great players and work with a world-class organization like Washington Spirit. I am counting the days to be with the team, step onto the Audi Field pitch and meet the incredible Spirit fans. See you soon.”
At the international level, Bernal made her debut for the Mexican women’s senior team in 2017 and has since appeared in 65 matches for her home country, scoring seven goals. The standout helped Mexico win its first-ever Pan American Games gold medal at the 2023 tournament and went on to earn Best XI honors for her performance at the 2024 Concacaf Gold Cup. Bernal will occupy an international slot on the Spirit roster.
