Sarah Stratigakis: "The league is very strong and competitive."

An Intense Start

For my debut in France, I experienced some fantastic victories and strong performances. But we also faced moments that strengthened our resilience and helped the team grow. I can’t wait to start the second half of the season! I believe it will be a turning point for us.

Her New Life in France

I love discovering a new culture and embracing a new lifestyle. It also gives me the chance to learn and practice my French—it’s fun, and I enjoy it. The energy from the team and staff is amazing; everyone is so supportive and makes each day and every training session enjoyable.

A Unique Style of Play

I’d say the French league is very strong and competitive. It’s different from what I’ve experienced before in Canada, the U.S., Sweden, or England. I really appreciate the style and pace of play here. It’s a league that pushes me every day to improve, both physically and in terms of tactics and technique.

Clear Goals

As a team, we want to keep playing well, offering high-quality football that’s enjoyable to watch. Of course, we aim to bring joy to our fans and maybe even compete for interesting positions in the Arkema First Division. Personally? I want to keep progressing, just as I have since the beginning of the season.

An Extra Boost of Energy

I want to thank the fans for their incredible energy and support since the start of the season! It’s such a pleasure to play in front of you, and I’m excited to start the second half of the season. You push us to get better with each match. Allez les Vertes!
