It will soon take a lot of height and step back, up to the mountains of Ardèche surely, to see the place that Sandrine Soubeyrand has in French women’s football.
The native of Saint-Agrève wrote one more line this Saturday, winning her first trophy on the Paris FC bench. A French Cup, gleaned from Paris Saint-Germain (0-0, 5-4 on penalties), which is enough for his happiness.
Twenty years after winning it with Juvisy (the ancestor of the PFC), the Ardéchoise enters the very closed circle of those who took the trophy as a player, then as a coach, with Sonia Bompastor.
-In the race for the double championship
This first trophy with the PFC validates the constant progression of Soubeyrand within it. The former recordwoman of selection in the French team (198, beaten by Eugénie Le Sommer) evolved with the club’s project until making Paris FC a serious competitor to the duo OL – PSG. Sacred best coach of Arkema First League, she is awarded a season where her team has not lost against the two Ogres of the Championship (4 draws).
This distinction and this trophy in pocket, Sandrine Soubeyrand will be able to immerse herself in a new size challenge. Insured to finish in third place, the Parisians will play in Dijon (4th) Wednesday, for the last day of Arkema Première League.
A final preparation for the semi-final of the championship, which will take place on Sunday May 11 (8 p.m.) at the… Parc des Princes, still against PSG. At the key, a place in the final, and the dream of an even greater feat.
