Lalie Camus, a reluctant spectator, will be there to cheer on her team and proudly contemplate the progress made by this team she joined four years ago. "In one season, we went from D2 to D1, then to R2... When I look back, I think it's quite a journey!" she smiles.
The former Simon-Lazard high school student started out in Alsting, under the guidance of her father, who was coaching a team. There was no distinction until she was 15: she laced up her cleats alongside the boys, before joining the Forbach women's teams, a detour to Lyon, a return to Alsting, and finally Beausoleil.

Yet, it was judo that first won her heart. "I came to my little brother's soccer practice. I was hooked. And then I had to choose: judo or soccer," she says. For this supporter of Olympique Lyonnais and Rayan Cherki, the choice seemed obvious. She started out in goal, until a broken wrist forced her to trade her goalkeeper gloves for a spot in central defense, where she thrives today. Last September, the coach gave her the captain's armband. "I didn't expect it, I haven't been here long... but it feels great!"

Since then, her role has taken on another dimension: interacting with the referee, motivating the troops, being listened to. Her father often reminds her: "He tells me it's a responsibility, that it's not nothing." He is there, as is the rest of her family, to support her and watch her progress throughout the matches. "There are also fans who travel to cheer on the team!" she assures. A team where the atmosphere in the locker room is warm. "There's a good understanding between those who have been there for a long time and the new ones. As long as you're willing, you can progress throughout the year!"
His prediction for Sunday's match? "3-1 for us!"
