Olympique Lyonnais Féminin aims to regain its status as European leader after three untitled seasons. To achieve this goal, the club’s management undertook a major overhaul of its staff, including seven departures and the arrival of five new players. Although the last recruit is not intended to immediately impact the team’s performance on the European stage, this strategy aims to build the club’s future.

The club recently announced the signing of Elida Kolbjørnsen for three seasons. This young Norwegian player, who turns 17 on August 6, is a long-term recruitment. Already experienced in the professional world, Kolbjørnsen started her first professional contract in August 2023 with Stabæk, where she quickly scored the Norwegian championship with a first goal in her first game.

By joining OL, this Norwegian U17 international will not immediately join Jonatan Giraldez’s professional group. It will begin its integration into the Academy in order to continue its development and adapt to the demands of the high level. This step-by-step approach will enable Kolbjørnsen to flourish and contribute fully to the long-term European ambitions of Olympique Lyonnais.
