Born March 23, 1992 in Toulon, Sidonie Demarle is since 2010 the attacker of Toulouse Football Club currently in D2 in group C.

Sidonie is said to be a leader, a good leader even. An energetic girl with many qualities. "I am often told that I am a leader, a leader who encourages others in difficulty, I think it is my highest quality from a psychological point of view. My football quality, I think it's the precision and analysis of the game My faults, grumpy is my biggest fault, I'm never satisfied. I moan for a nothing I am a girl what. In football I often tease the fact that I dribble too much, "says Sidonie.

A route that starts in Hyères in the Var. "My debut in football, continues Sidonie, it started in primary school. During the recesses, I found myself all the time on the sports field with the ball in my feet. The father of one of my school friends was a coach, he asked me to come and give a test at ASPTT Hyères. And it was that day that I understood that football would be part of my life. So I spent about six years in this club playing with boys. These are my best years when family, sport, friendship were at the rendezvous.

Hyéroise as Sidonie, Pascale Bouillon, regional technical adviser League Mediterranean remembers the young shoot she detected at 13 years: "She lived in Hyères like me. I remember a very energetic girl, gifted in tennis. His parents said that football was just a hobby. She has made a lot of progress. She was a very generous girl in the effort. My first memory when I saw it with a ball is its quality of typing. She was a scorer. A girl who knew how to manage her double project. A bubbly girl, full of life.

After the Var, Vaucluse with the Women's Football Club Monteux Vaucluse in D2 in 2007. A full season that the young striker will punctuate 12 goals and a second place in the standings. In margin of this season, Sidonie will know two selections in team of France U16. Then it will be two new seasons with the FCFMV under the direction of Richard Poggi. Richard Poggi coach Monteux from 2008 to 2010 recalls: "Sido that makes memories that made me love women's football. An exemplary will. He is a good person. She never gave up. I knew him before center and as a recovery center. And by its volume of play, she was interesting on both positions. There was competition at the start and she was young, she was only 17 years old. While the second year, I told her when we discussed that she would be titling and she was released. I thought it was a very good thing for her to go to Toulouse. A good opportunity for her ".

Sidonie, author of 5 goals and especially 14 the season after, embraye: "My years in Monteux, a first experience with a team of girls. I was quite young and in parallel I was in Clairefontaire training center, I lived these years differently from those of Toulouse because I could not participate in training, I was there that the weekend and I went back to Paris. When we talk about it it does not seem easy to create an agreement but the girls, the staff and the club were great with me. Which allowed me to make my best seasons in terms of performance. I marked often, I was blooming in the field.

After experiencing the D2 for a few years in the Montilien club, Sidonie changes department and joins Haute-Garonne and the TFC. A change to get closer to the high level. In parallel with the D1, Sidonie knows again the joys of the selection. 10 selections with the France U19 team. Christophe Cattelain, who was Richard Poggi's assistant before becoming a coach at Monteux, later looked at her: "Sidonie, very young, was already showing great maturity. The education of his parents provided him with the necessary baggage to validate a schooling and a successful sports project. In the locker room, it is above all the unifying smile of an athlete appreciated by all. Footballistically, his career in Vaucluse has been prolific with more than 20 goals in his first 3 seasons in D2. One can only be sorry for the knowledge currently hurt. But Sido, it is also someone who will rebound after this blow and to lead head to head, with some success, the various projects she has in mind. A first season in interesting D1 with 15 games played and 3 goals scored. A season which will be marked nevertheless by the descent of the TFC in D2.

A sporty descent and injuries. After a successful start to the 2011-2012 season with 8 goals in 6 games, Sidonie is injured. Two major injuries that prevented him from playing for two and a half seasons.

Having made many sacrifices to succeed, Sidonie returns. During the 2014-2015 season, the TFC returned to D2 after another run. Sidonie however scored 5 goals for 20 games played. A full season for the Toulon.

Sidonie is also a member of the Paul Sabatier University team in Toulouse, where she has built a good track record; May 2011: French Champion in Montpellier, June 2011: European Champion 2011 in Istanbul (Turkey), May 2012: French Champion 2012 in Grenoble and July 2012: Gold Medal at the first European University Games in Cordoba (Spain) .

In this new edition 2015-2016, Toulouse moves on the field of Marseille FA in the first day. Sidonie scored the second Toulouse goal but was injured and replaced at halftime. It will be crusaders again. Sylvain Blaise and Sylvain Delgado who successively coached him at the TFC testify. "Sido has been a driving force behind Paul Sabatier's two-time champions in France and Europe in 2011 and 2012; She had the status of High Performance Sportswoman at the University. This university record is the perfect reflection of his flawless investment. I would have liked to share the same success with her at the TFC, but my personal situation last season did not allow me to complete this project. By wishing her a quick return to the field and full of courage for her rehabilitation, knowing that she will be able to count on her parents to support her, that I take this opportunity to warmly greet her ... And above all, a lot of success for her. following his football career and his personal life, "said Sylvain Blaise, also coach of the University team Toulouse Paul Sabatier.

While current Sylvain Delgado coach TFC also says: "Sidonie has left us again too early this season due to his knee injury and his crusader. She is a very technically talented player with a very good vision of the game and who imposes his physique on each duel. She is a girl who was important in the collective both in technical mastery and because of her experience. Her last years were very hard for her with her injuries but I think she has an extraordinary mind to return each time and especially to return to her level. I have worked with him in different aspects, prep and coach and I know she will not give up because she still has beautiful things to show in the field.

Physical glitches that have certainly slowed his rise but not his desire to return again. To be stronger still mentally. To grow and shine again.
