Aline Riera Ubiergo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aline Riera Ubiergo - occasionally also in the spelling Ubergo  - (born January 21, 1972 in Vélizy-Villacoublay ) is a former French football player .

Club career

Aline Riera joined Juvisy FCF as a 14-year-old , who had separated from the Étoile Sportive de Juvisy-sur-Orge a year earlier and re-established it as a purely women's football club. From the available sources it is not clear when she was first employed in her wiveship. However, when the FCF won the French championship in 1992 - the first in the history of the club - the defensive player, who was mostly used in central defense or defensive midfield , was part of the regular line-up and won the 3-2 final against CS Saint- Brieuc also in the starting XI. In the then introduced National 1 A , a real France-wide league in just one group, Riera was first runner-up with Juvisy and won the title for the second time in 1994. In addition, her international career began during this time (see the section below) .

Nevertheless, after this success, the player moved to another club, and for the next five years she wore the dress of Chaffoteaux Sports Saint-Brieuc, Juvisy's final opponents from 1992. Although the Briochins have consistently belonged to the top group of the league, but the best placement in the final table was a third place in the 1996/97 season . Therefore, Aline Riera returned from Brittany to Juvisy in 1999 and continued to be part of the regular women's team until 2005, which was one of the strongest teams in the first division called Division 1 Féminine from 2002 onwards . With the JFCF, she finally managed to win a third French championship title in 2003 . In the following season she was in the European Cup , in which Juvisy then narrowly failed to the Norwegians from Kolbotn IL , in all three games from the first to the last minute. In the women's national cup competition introduced in 2001, however, it was missing when Juvisy prevailed in the final against the women of Olympique Lyon in 2005 and won the cup.

Then, at the age of 33, Riera ended her active football career - but she came back in 2008 and was repeatedly used in Juvisy's second team, which competed in the third division, over the next two years. In the 2009/10 season she was even considered for two games in the first division eleven. She came on for Sandrine Soubeyrand eight minutes before the final whistle against her former club from Saint-Brieuc , and a few days after her 38th birthday she replaced Gaëtane Thiney against ESOF La Roche for a good 20 minutes.

Since the end of her career, Aline Riera Ubiergo has worked in the sports department of Foot + , a channel in the Canal + group .

In the national team

At the end of May 1993, national coach Aimé Mignot used Aline Riera Ubiergo for the first time on the occasion of a friendly match between the French national team and Russia . By the end of her international career, this had resulted in a total of 59 international matches; the defender did not succeed in this circle. From autumn 1996 - during this time she played for Saint-Brieuc - she was no longer considered for two and a half years, and Mignot's successor Élisabeth Loisel did not even nominate her for the squad of the Bleues for the European Championship finals in Norway and Sweden .

It was not until the beginning of 1999 that Loisel regularly returned to Riera, and during the next four years she was in almost no international match. So in 2001 she still took part in a tournament at a European Championship , where she played all three French games in Germany. The last time she was on the French defensive was in November 2002, and that was a particularly important game because France's women qualified for the finals of an official World Cup for the first time in their international history by beating England 1-0 . On this "magical Saturday at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard , which had been transformed from a green to a blue cauldron for a game ", Aline Riera initiated the attack that led to the decisive goal by Corinne Diacre . All the greater her disappointment that the coach, who had just become French champion again with Juvisy in the summer of 2003, did not nominate her for the final World Cup squad , but with Laura Georges , Amélie Coquet and Anne-Laure Casseleux, three defensive players of the year 1984 gave preference to the 31 year old.

In five of their international matches, the opponents came from a German-speaking country: three of these encounters (1999, 2001 and 2002) were played against the Swiss , one each against the women from Austria and Germany (both matches in 1999).
