THEfemale France team begins its European campaign this Tuesday morning on the occasion of the 2025 European Championship, with a first meeting against the Great Britain.

Behind the flagship duo Alix Collombon / Léa Godallier, the French team can count on Carla Toully, Louise Bahurel, Camille Sireix, Charlotte Soubrié, Jessica Ginier-Barber et Lucile PothierA balanced team that offers Haziza several options to approach the competition calmly.
Opposite, the Great Britain will rely in particular on Aimee Gibson et Catherine Rose, two regular players of the FIP Tour, as well as on top Tia Louisa Norton et Abigail Tordoff, to try to shake up the hierarchy.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
