Jean-Aimé Toupane, the coach of the French team, accompanied by Jacques Commères (director of performance and French teams) and Céline Dumerc in his capacity as general manager of the French team, announced the composition of this group of 16 girls gathered for two qualifying matches for Euro 2025 against Ireland on February 6 in Chalon-sur-Saône, and Israel on February 9 in Riga.
With the Djaldi-Tabdi sisters
Unsurprisingly, playmaker Leïla Lacan is once again called up under the tricolor tunic. She already has 26 selections. She was in the group that thrilled all lovers of the orange ball during the fantastic run of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A match in which the French made the Americans tremble until the last second (66-67).
The Landes captain, Clarince Djaldi-Tabdi, will once again experience the joys of France. The centerpiece of Basket Landes, it already has a selection. Playing at the time in the Villeneuve-d'Ascq jersey, she played a match against Spain, in May 2021, at the Palais des sports in Toulouse. An encounter which left her with a bitter taste, since she had injured her knee. Note that the joy will be double for the Landaise, since she will find her younger sister in her selection, Maëva Djaldi-Tabdi, licensed at Charnay.
