| Description |
She belongs to the very exclusive club of Zidane, Guardiola, Cruyff or Ancelotti, her male equivalents. Those who have succeeded on the field and on the coaches' bench. From village football to the very highest level, Sonia Bompastor collects first times. When in 1998, the Clairefontaine training center finally opened its doors to women, she was among the pioneers. In 2011, she lifted the Champions League with Olympique Lyonnais, of which she was captain. No French club had achieved this feat before. Ten years later, Sonia became the first female coach of OL, the greatest women's team in the world, and won the Champions League in 2022: she is thus the first woman to win this trophy as a coach and player. Despite the obstacles, the lack of resources, public or recognition, Sonia Bompastor tenaciously embodies the emergence of women both on the field and in the eyes of the supporters. With her exceptional career, the player shows us the evolution of women's football, in all simplicity.
