Championnat National 1 A 2001/02
The 2001/02 season of the Championnat National 1 A was the 28th playout of the French women's football championship since the official recognition of women's football by the FFF, the French Football Association , in 1970 and the first run in the 1974/75 season . The Championnat National 1 A was pure League mode played in a group consisting of a single group, twelve-team france wide top division.
The previous year's champions of the Toulouse Olympique Aérospatial Club had joined FC Toulouse before the start of the season , which also took their place in the N1A and brought the championship to the “ pink city ” for the fourth time in a row . Strictly speaking, this was not a title defense; however, a number of last year's champions also won another national championship in their new dress. As in Toulouse, the women's division of a small club ( Entente Montpellier Le Crès ) had joined a local competitor in Montpellier before this season and continued to play in the league under his name.
The French soccer players were officially pure amateurs at the time. However, for the coming season (2002/03) - at the same time as restructuring measures in the men's area, where the professional divisions 1 and 2 (in the future: Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 ) gained further autonomy - the women's game operation should experience a number of changes that affect the substructure of the highest league as well as the future division 1 Féminine itself. In addition to a modification of the promotion and relegation regulations between the two game levels, the clubs were allowed to reward players financially for practicing their sport. For this purpose, a model employment contract , known as a “federal contract” (contrat fédéral) , was introduced by the FFF , which regulates income levels as well as other rights and obligations of clubs and soccer players. The reason for this was that the association wanted to strengthen the country's women's football in the run-up to France's first participation in a World Cup finals .
Qualification and mode of competition
For the right to participate, only the performance in the previous season was taken into account; Qualified were the nine best-placed women’s teams from the previous season as well as three newcomers from the second division, which was divided into three regional groups (Championnat National 1 B) . The league thus included the following participants this season:
- from the north: Olympique Saint-Memmie , SC Schiltigheim
- from the center: Juvisy FCF , ESOF La Roche , promoted Paris Saint-Germain , Saint-Brieuc FF , ASJ Soyaux , promoted FC Tours
- from the south: promoted SC Caluire Saint-Clair , FC Lyon , Le Crès successor HSC Montpellier , TOAC successor FC Toulouse
The championship consisted of two phases. First, a double round of points was played, in which each club competed in home and away games against each other. The " modified three-point rule " , which was common in French amateur football into the 21st century, applied with four points for a win, two for a draw and one for a defeat won on the field; in the event of a tie, first the direct comparison and then, if necessary, the better overall goal difference was decisive. At the end of the season, the three bottom of the table had to be relegated and were replaced for the coming season by the group winners of the three second-class seasons.
The four women in positions one to four, however, carried out the second phase as a simple “championship round”, after which the final title holder was determined. The four participating teams started with bonus points (3, 2, 1 or 0) depending on their placement at the end of the first phase.

Six game results differ between the sources, with Soyaux involved in five cases. These differences have no effect on championship or relegation. This article follows the results and the resulting final table in Grégoire-Boutreau, p. 249/250, and rsssf.com compared to those mentioned in footofeminin.fr.
At the end of the first half of the season, Toulouse was at the top of the table and was able to secure the unofficial title of autumn champion. However, the women from Soyaux were only one point behind, while Lyon had made a classic false start (four defeats in the first five matches) and only returned to the top quartet in the autumn with a series of six wins in a row, including Juvisy and Montpellier counted, had fought. While Toulouse continued to play fairly consistently after the winter break, Soyaux literally ran out of air in the second half of the season - among other things, the ASJ suffered four defeats in a row and only won four matches in total - with the consequence that the Charente women on 15. Matchday had dropped to fifth place in the table. At this point, Juvisy - after Toulouse added its only home defeat - and Lyon had come within one point of Toulouse, and this three-way battle remained exciting until the third from last round. It was only on the 21st match day that Juvisy passed Toulouse and could not be denied first place in the final game.
Among the strongest teams in the second half of the season were the women from newly promoted Paris Saint-Germain, who were tied with Montpellier and Soyaux behind the top trio after matchday 20. On the other hand, Saint-Memmie showed how much the club was dependent on its goal scorer Marinette Pichon , who scored 22 goals in the first 15 games and then went to the USA : with three draws and four defeats in the last third of the season, the players slipped from Champagne , who had won every second game by then, down to the first non-relegation place.
At the bottom of the table, the other two climbers were found to be "too easy for the competition": Caluire only had to not admit defeat in a single game (1: 1 in Tours), and Tours with his only victory (in Caluire) could over it In addition, they only recorded four draws against opponents from the lower half of the table. The Alsatians from Schiltigheim accompanied these two teams into the second division, although they achieved at least some respectable successes such as a win against Montpellier and a draw in Toulouse. The relegated teams were replaced the following season by USO Bruay , Stade Quimper and the young players from CNFE Clairefontaine , who were participating in the top-class game for the first time - this was the women's team of the French national football center Center technique national Fernand-Sastre .

The 2001/02 championship was ultimately decided in a single game, and the top of the table from Juvisy actually had better conditions because they could receive the team from Toulouse in front of their own audience. Soon after kick-off, Juvisy took a 1-0 lead. But as in the regular round of points, they were again defeated by the guests at home by one goal difference, and the decisive goal for the TFC's 2-1 victory was scored by Juvisy's midfielder Sandrine Soubeyrand , who put the ball into her own goal after about an hour of play . Juvisy had already happened twelve months earlier to be the first in the table to lose the title in the final championship round .
