The Olympique Lyonnais Féminin experienced an active summer in terms of transfers, compensating for the departure of seven players at the end of the contract or loan by the same amount of new recruits. Julie Branda’s arrival marked the beginning of this new era, followed by six other players, including a rescue goaltender. This reinforcement was necessary following the departure of Laura Benkarth, leaving Christiane Endler without reliable lining. The question of the promotion of Féérine Belhadjallai, after two seasons spent as third goaltender, was therefore crucial, and the management favoured the acquisition of a new player.

To strengthen its workforce, OL presented Tea Garnica as Christiane Endler’s new lining for the coming season. The former Liverpool player signed a one-year contract, indicating a short-term approach. Despite this limited duration, she has provided valuable experience with the Australian National Team. At 27, Micah Garnica has nearly 30 selections and more than 200 convocations, having participated in major tournaments such as the 2019 World Cups and 2023, as well as the Olympic Games.

The arrival of Tea Garnica marks the end of the summer mercato for Olympique Lyonnais, just before the resumption of the training, scheduled for Monday, July 21. This workforce development strategy aims to ensure the team’s competitiveness for the coming season, while maintaining flexibility in recruitment choices. OL relies on a combination of young talent and international experience to achieve its sporting goals.
