Division 1 Féminine 2009/10

The 2009/10 season of Division 1 Féminine was the 36th playing of the French women's football championship since the official recognition of women's football by the FFF, the Football Association of France , in 1970 and the first in the 1974/75 season . The Division 1 Féminine called league was in pure League mode played in a group consisting of a single group, comprising twelve teams, national top division.

Last year's winners were the women of Olympique Lyon , who were able to defend their title and thus won their fourth championship.

The soccer players of the D1F were no longer pure amateurs; rather, the clubs were allowed to reward them financially for practicing their sport, although the maximum possible remuneration was very moderate compared to men's football.

Qualification and mode of competition

For the eligibility to participate, only the performance of the women's teams in the previous season was taken into account; The ten best-placed teams of the previous season as well as two promoted teams, who had each finished their group of Division 2 Féminine as first in the table, were qualified . In addition, before the start of the season, the women's football department of the Racing Club Saint-Étienne had dissolved, and their players had joined the financially stronger local rivals ASSE, which took over Racings place in the league. Thus the following twelve participants started this season:

from the north: FCF Hénin-Beaumont , Juvisy FCF , promoted AS Montigny-le-Bretonneux , Paris Saint-Germain FC
from the west: Newcomers ESOF La Roche , ASJ Soyaux , Stade Saint-Brieuc
from the south: defending champions Olympique Lyon , HSC Montpellier , AS Saint-Étienne , FC Toulouse , FCF Nord Allier Yzeure

The championship was played in a double round of points in which each participant competed in home and away games against each other. The " modified three-point rule " , which was also common in French amateur football well 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, the direct comparison and, if necessary, then the better total goal difference , if there was still a tie, the higher number of hits, if applicable, were decisive. At the end of the season, the two bottom of the table had to relegate, who were replaced for the coming season by two promoted from the second division.

The French champions as well as the runners-up in Division 1 Féminine qualified for the women's European Cup competition the following season .

^a Saint-Étienne won the direct comparison with Hénin-Beaumont with a win and a draw.

Unlike in the previous season, this year's decision about the championship remained open until the last day of the game, because the defending champions from Lyon had not been able to break away from their competitors at any stage. After six match days, Lyon and Paris led the table with 24 points each, ahead of Montpellier (20) and Yzeure (19); only Juvisy (16) had only got three wins badly from the starting blocks. Then, however, Olympique afforded a defeat in Hénin-Beaumont, Paris took the sole lead, which it only returned in the second half of the season, and Juvisy won his next six games in a row. After Paris' first defeat on Matchday 14, Lyon regained the lead, two points ahead of Paris, six over Juvisy and seven over Montpellier. When PSG lost 2-1 to Montpellier in front of their own crowd at the beginning of April - this was their only home game in which their goalkeeper Bérangère Sapowicz was overcome by an opposing attacker - Juvisy was only three points behind the second Rank ahead. The FCF reduced this deficit to one point on matchday 20, but since the four top teams all won their last two games, the order did not change.

In the lower region of the table, newcomer Montigny, who had won two wins in the first five games, fell back to last place early on, from which Saint-Brieuc moved noticeably after a "catastrophic start" (six defeats in a row) - not least thanks his goalscorer Eugénie Le Sommer , who scored exactly half of all the goals of her Breton women and thus won the league scorer's crown . At the end of the season Soyaux Montigny had to accompany Féminine in Division 2 , while the second newcomer from La Roche-sur-Yon finally secured relegation with eight points from the last three games. The relegation of ASJ Soyaux hit a "veteran" of the league, which, besides Juvisy, had been the only remaining club that had belonged to France's top division since its first season in 1992/93 . This was also a personal descent for Soyaux 'trainer Bernadette Constantin , who had played for the ASJ from 1975 to 1996.
For the following season , Le Mans FC and AF Rodez, an absolute “first division debutant”, rose.
