On July 23, the FF Templemars-Vendeville took on a new dimension by becoming the Lille Olympic Sporting Club. The second division club has taken a new turn by joining the professional men's club and now enjoys structures and a larger project. The goal of maintaining this season is also filled mid-season and the project to join the elite medium-term ambition for all. Assessment of these first six months of the LOSC Women and projection towards the future.
With 28 points after eleven days and five points ahead of the first relegation, the LOSC is currently in the nails to fulfill the ambitions of this season: acclimatize to change and stay in D2.
With five wins, two draws and four defeats and a goal-average of +8, the club nordiste ensures a cruising speed of 2.5 points per game, against 2.1 for Saint-Denis (first relegation), but far from 3.7 d 'Arras, leader of the championship. "The maintenance is acquired at 50% since mid-season we are maintained. The five points are not huge (ahead of the red zone, ed) but it's still an interesting margin, "says Jérémie Descamps, Lille coach.

However, the important thing is not to fight for the climb for which the march is still too great. With a 2015-2016 six-run season, the club's restructuring is timely. The facilities of the LOSC are at the disposal of the women, who now play on the annex of the Stadium of Villeneuve d'Ascq (the young teams stay on the Templemars complex) and a larger staff allows them to access better care and better support for the players "the big difference is the training / match structures and the additional medical follow-up".

And tomorrow ?
Eliminated from the Coupe de France on the field of Hénin-Beaumont (2-0), the Doguesses are fully concerned by the maintenance. With the flashy arrival of Julie Machart (formerly Juvisy), Michel Seydoux shows the ambition surrounding the women's section and the desire to confront the elite in the medium term. "We had to expand the workforce and especially with a finisher. We approached it in June but it still wants to evolve a little in D1. It will bring a plus to the collective by its personality and experience, "enthuses Descamps. After six seasons and a half at Juvisy, the attacker from Saint-Omer is coming back to the North to advance the big black dot of LOSC this season: finishing. "We have a problem in the finishing area, we create every game of opportunity opportunities, we get there but we do not score enough (still fifth championship attack, ed).

With this high-level scorer, Lille could well pass a new level before two big players arrive next summer to advance this project to move into the first division.
