Initiated by Marie-France Gosselet in 2019, the atypical association highlights a group of dynamic women, all aged over 50, who have decided not to leave football only to the younger generations. These “female footballers” travel across France with a clear message: football has no age limit. By playing, they demonstrate that respect, inclusion and joy are at the heart of the game, proving that football is a sport for everyone, regardless of age or gender.

For this gathering, they will be supervised by two former professionals: Carlos Acosta, former player from Puy (but also from the New York Cosmos alongside King Pelé) and by Jean-Luc Lemonnier, former player from COP, , .
