The  female 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 . Placed in the  group B , the players of  Robin Haziza  et  Baptiste Benetoux  are the favorites, but will have to be wary of a British selection that has clearly improved in recent seasons.

An introduction to be negotiated well

On paper, the  France  has a complete and experienced team. 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 Pothier A 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 !
