Three executive players, including captain Wendie Renard, have announced their withdrawal from Les Bleues under tension with Corinne Deacon. The first to light the fuse is Wendie Renard, the captain with 142 selections. “I can no longer support the current system, far from the requirements required by the highest level (…). It’s a sad but necessary day to preserve my sanity.”, she said, Friday, February 24. This sling intervenes at five months of the next World Cup to be played in Australia and New Zealand (July 20-August 20).
A commission will soon be appointed, with Jean-Michel Aulas, president of Olympique Lyonnais in charge of women’s football within the FFF, among its members. This commission will have to hear Corinne Deacon, but also the players who have announced their withdrawal from the French women’s team in recent days. She goes “draw up an assessment of the current situation and draw up a list of recommendations and decisions to be taken very quickly in order to restore a situation conducive to the performance of the French team”indicates the FFF in a press release.
