Amel Majri

Amel Majri (born 25 January 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger and left-back for Première Ligue club Lyon and the France national team.

Majri was born in Monastir, Tunisia and moved to France at the age of 1 alongside her twin sister, Rachida, and her mother, Hafsia.

In France, she played five-a-side pick up games with boys in her neighbourhood until the age of 12, and at school.

Upon seeing her play in the schoolyard, her primary school teacher insisted that she join a club, something Majri was initially against.

Majri returned to playing football in December 2022 after five months away and became the first woman French international to report for duty with a young child.
