This Wednesday, February 10, the club of Olympique Lyonnais announced on its official website, the extension of the contract with their defender, Amel Majri.
At the club since 1 January 2010, Amel Majri has undoubtedly imposed herself as a player in the Lyon squad, but also in the French team.
The number 7 of the OL has shone by its technical prowess, its liveliness and its percussion in its displacements!
The contract that bound the club to the player ending this season, the president of the club lyonnais, Jean Michel Aulas did not hesitate long to keep Majri at OL.
Formed by the Rhone Alpes club, she started as a professional team in the 2010/2011 season, at the age of 17! She has since played 94 games, scoring 24 goals. She has also won 2 Champions Leagues, 5 Women's D1 Championships and 4 French Cups. A track record worthy of the greatest who has strongly participated in his selections in Team France.

"I am very happy to extend 3 years in my city of hearts, it makes me really happy. I can not wait to prove again and achieve all the goals that we have set with the club. I had guarantees from the club and coach about my desire to play higher on the field. It will now be necessary for me to prove that I am capable of it. "
Reaction of Jean-Michel Aulas:
"This is great news that shows that we know and we will keep our best players, and that we can continue to progress.
