The Olympique Lyonnais Féminin is represented at Euro 2025, a competition in Switzerland from 2 to 27 July. Ten players from the team coached by Jean-Laurent Girard are present for this European championship. Among them are five French players: Katoto, Diani, Majri and Bachaet Sombath. The French team was in Group D, alongside the Netherlands, England and Wales, and started the tournament with a 2-1 win over England, champion in 2022, with a goal from Marie-Antoinette Katoto. The Netherlands also won their first 3-0 match against Wales.

OL Lyon’s players have thus made a promising start to the tournament and are preparing to face Wales on the last day, hoping to qualify as the first position of the group. This meeting is crucial to ensure a quarter-final qualification. For this, France must win its game against Wales and hope that England will not beat the Netherlands. The team, led by Laurent Bonadei, is opposed to the group’s weakest team and aims for a perfect course with a score of six wins.

The likely composition of the French team for the match against Wales will include Peyraud-Magnin as goaltender, N’Dongala, Samura, Sombath and Bacha in defense, Geyoro (cap.), Toletti, Majri in midfield, and Dia, Mateo and Malaard in attack. France’s full programme at Euro 2025 includes a match against England on Saturday 5 July at 9 p.m., followed by a match against Wales on Wednesday 9 July at 9 p.m., and a match against the Netherlands on Sunday 13 July at 9 p.m. The motivation is strong for OL Lyonnais players in this competition.
