The Olympique Lyonnais player is going to play in the World Cup in Australia (July 20-August 20) with her eleven-month-old daughter.
For the first time, a player from the France team will be accompanied by her child to play in a major tournament, the Football World Cup (July 20-August 20). The international Amel Majri, mother for eleven months, will go to Australia with her daughter, who has already accompanied her to Clairefontaine since the beginning of the year. “I had scared, I didn’t know how it was going to be, but I was reassured”she explains.
“I don’t see how that bothers me”
Everything has been put in place in the management of Les Bleues to allow the reception of the little girl, an initiative also encouraged by coach Hervé Renard. “JI know what it means for a mother to be separated from her young child. Devoting yourself to it once training is over, I don’t see how that bothers me”, he assures. The Lyon midfielder thus follows the example of the American Alex Morgan, a pioneer on the subject of motherhood for high-level players, who has been traveling with her daughter since 2020.
