Having come through the club’s youth system from a very young age, Selma Bacha quickly rose through the ranks of Lyon’s academy, signing her first professional contract in the 2017-2018 season at just 16 years old.
A player born in 2000, the left-back has established herself over the seasons as a key member of the squad, thanks to her versatility and boundless energy across the entire left flank. Loyal to her boyhood club, the Lyon native already boasts an impressive list of achievements: three French league titles, two French Cups, and three Women’s Champions League titles won with Lyon.
Her remarkable rise has led her to the French national team, where she earned her first cap on November 26, 2021, against Kazakhstan, before scoring her first international goal a few days later against the Netherlands.
I arrived at the club as a girl, and it made me into a woman. I still have so much to write.
