Before her manager career, Vergara was a member of the senior Mexico women's team, playing as a defender. Vergara also held positions as manager for the U-15, U-17, and U-20 Mexico women's national teams, leading the U-15 squad to a third-place finish at the Youth Olympic Games and, most notably, leading the U-17 team to the championship game of the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[1]
Vergara represented Mexico at the senior level, competing at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, where the team finished in eighth place.[2]
On August 26, 2014, Vergara led the Mexico U-15 women's national team to a bronze medal at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games after beating Slovakia 3–1 in the third-place match. Three days prior, Mexico fell to Venezuela in penalty kicks, 3–4, after the game ended in a draw, 1-1.
