Bourgoin-Jallieu, France — Today’s match see Lyon Féminin face off against Le Havre at the Pierre-Rajon stadium for the final day of the regular Premier League season. It’s a vital chance for the team to regain confidence after their recent exit from the Champions League following a heavy 1-4 defeat to Arsenal.

The starting lineup features Vicki Becho, who just signed a contract extension until June 2029, and veteran Wendie Renard, marking her 500th appearance with the club. This revamped lineup will give opportunities for players like Sara Däbritz, Alice Sombath, and Sofie Svava to showcase their skills.
As preparations unfold, discussions among fans intensify. A user on social media shared, “Can’t wait to see how our girls perform today. It’s all about getting that rhythm back!”
