Club career
The attacking midfielder began her club career as a youth in her region of origin, the Languedoc , at AS Saint-Christol-les-Alès . In 2008, the first division club Racing Club Saint-Étienne brought the just 17-year-old into its squad; there she played 15 point games in her first season and scored one goal.

With the final win against HSC Montpellier in the national cup , she managed to win her first national title in 2011; she hadn't got the ball past Montpellier's national goalie Celine Deville in the decisive penalty shoot-out . Catala was also a regular in the 2011/12 season and scored 13 goals in 22 games. In 2012 she moved to Juvisy FCF . With her new club, she reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League in spring 2013 ; in this competition she had scored two goals for Juvisy herself.

As a national player
Camille Catala has already gained a lot of international experience in the French selection teams: four games in the U-17, 19 games with four goals of his own in the U-19 and four games in the U-20. In 2008 she was in France's U-17 squad at the World Cup in New Zealand ; In 2010 she took part in the World Cup in Germany with the French U-20 national team , and was also included in two games there. Nevertheless, the French had to travel home early, even if only because of the worse goal difference compared to Colombia. For this she won the continental title with the French team at the U-19 European Championship in Macedonia in 2010 , to which she again contributed a goal in four tournament appearances.
For the 2011 Women's World Cup , coach Bruno Bini first called Camille Catala into his extended squad , but then did not take them to Germany. But she made her debut at the end of October in a European Championship qualifier between the national team and Israel . At the tournament in Cyprus in 2012, she was in a squad with several of her teammates at the international youth and junior championships, such as Laëtitia Philippe , Kelly Gadéa and Marina Makanza . She was part of the French Olympic squad in 2012 and made two short appearances with one goal at this tournament. Coach Bini also called her to the 2013 EM squad and moved her to two of the four matches in Sweden. Bini's successor Philippe Bergeroo, on the other hand, completely waived her participation.
In October 2016, a good three years after her last international match, Camille Catala was again included in the French squad with the new national coach Olivier Echouafni , most recently at the SheBelieves Cup in 2017 and in France's European Championship , and Echouafni's successor Corinne Diacre continues to rely on her. So far she has completed 30 full international matches (three goals). (As of October 23, 2017)
