Antonio Campos (born 25 July 2006) is an association footballer who plays for Inter Toronto FC in the Canadian Premier League.

Personal life and early career

Campos is the son of Canadian Marcy Ralston and Jorge Campos, a Mexican international who represented the country in two FIFA World Cups. He was born in Red Deer, Alberta and grew up in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. As a student at Loyola High School, the young Campos played both basketball and soccer. He eventually chose to focus on soccer while training with his father during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Club career

As a youth, Campos played for the academy of the USL League Two's Ventura County Fusion.[2] He was part of the first-team squad that competed against AV Alta FC in the First Round of the 2025 U.S. Open Cup. However he did not see any minutes in the match.[3]

In 2025, Campos committed to playing college soccer for the Cal State Fullerton Titans of the NCAA Division I.[4] He did not see any minutes during his freshman season, mostly serving as an understudy to the older and more experienced goalkeepers on the squad.[5]

In February 2026, it was announced that Campos had signed a four-year deal with Inter Toronto FC of the Canadian Premier League.[6] He had previously trained with the club in 2024, impressing the coaching staff.[7] The deal was the player's first professional contract.[8]

International career

Campos holds multiple citizenships and is eligible to represent Canada, Mexico, and the United States internationally.[9][10]
