Camarena played demonstrably from the 1922/23 season in the old Liga Amateur de Jalisco for the CD Nacional and was appointed due to his good performance in the national team of Jalisco , which played some friendly matches against teams from the capital in 1926 and 1928 .

General Aguirre, the creator and driving force behind CD Marte , became aware of some of the talented players on the Guadalajara national team and brought them to the capital . One of them was "Yegua" Camarena, who immediately won the championship with the Marcianos after the CD Marte was accepted into the capital league (for the 1928/29 season) .
