An unprecedented national competition for French women’s football

The President of the Women’s League of Professional Football (LFFP), Jean-Michel Aulas, formalized the creation of a new national women’s football competition at the First Women’s League Trophy Ceremony 2024-2025. This cup, which will complete the championship and the Coupe de France, will include a first phase of locally organised chickens to avoid long trips at the beginning of the tournament.

Qualified clubs for the European Cups will compete from the quarterfinals. This competition is designed to meet a need expressed by all teams in the First and Second Division, especially those who are not qualified for the European Cups.

The final of this competition will take place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, a decision motivated by the desire to guarantee a full stage and a unique moment for professional players.

The Euro U17 is approaching

We are gradually approaching the interseason and international youth tournaments, with the women’s Euro U17 taking place between May 5 and 17. France, victorious in 2023 and semi-finalist last year, will rely on four Fenots for the tournament: goaltender Alexane Lambert, defender Oceane Moreau-Tranchant, midfielder Maïssa Fathalla and attacker Camille Marmillt. The French have gathered in Clairefontaine since Monday to prepare for the event, which will take place in the Faroe Islands. The goal is to finish in one of the first two places in the pool in order to reach the semifinals. **
