Laura Georges (born August 20, 1984 in Le Chesnay ) is a former French soccer player . She is an official at the French football association FFF .
Club career
The defender played for Paris Saint-Germain as a teenager and became a senior international at the age of 17. In the 2002/03 season she was accepted into the Center technique national Fernand-Sastre , also played for the league team and then returned to PSG. At the same time, she began studying at the University of Paris-XIII , which she continued from 2004 to 2007 at Boston University , for whose college team, the BU Terriers , she was still active in the Patriot League .
Back in France since the beginning of the 2007/08 season , she wore the Olympique Lyon dress and played a leading role in its successes: six national championship titles and three victories in the French women's cup (2008, 2012, 2013), plus four times the European Cup final ( 2010 , 2011 , 2012 and 2013 ), which she won in 2011 and 2012 (without playing in the final) with OL. Laura Georges graduated with a Masters in Marketing, Communication and Commercial Strategies from the Institut des hautes études économiques et commerciales (INSEEC) in Lyon . In the summer of 2013, Georges returned to their first club, Paris Saint-Germain FC. With this she reached the final of the Champions League 2014/15 , but lost to 1. FFC Frankfurt with 1: 2. The same happened to her two years later , this time against Olympique Lyon and only after a penalty shoot-out .
In 2015, UEFA named Laura Georges one of five “Women's Football Ambassadors”, whose aim is to pass on their experiences to young players in particular.
After the player had only two league appearances in the first half of the 2017/18 season , she and her club terminated their contract, which ran until 2020, at the beginning of January 2018. Immediately afterwards, Laura Georges signed a contract with Bayern Munich for a year and a half . There, however, she was barely operating times and also played a minute in which against VfL Wolfsburg lost national cup final . The 33-year-old ended her long, successful career at the end of May 2018.
In the national team
In 2002 Laura Georges was with the French A-youth selection in the final of the U-19 European Championship . At this point, she had already become a national player (first game there in September 2001, when she was just 17). Since then she has been part of the team at the Bleues . She took part in four European ( 2005 , 2009 , 2013 , 2017 ) and three World Cup finals. After 2003 , national coach Bruno Bini also appointed her to the squad for the World Cup in Germany in 2011 . There Laura Georges succeeded in the preliminary round match against Canada in the " international club hundreds ", and she played all six games of the Bleues, which finished the tournament in fourth place. In addition, FIFA had included them in the All-Star Team's 21 list . In 2012, however, she repeatedly had to forego a place in the French starting lineup. She was part of the French Olympic squad in 2012 and played all six Bleues games at this tournament . Coach Bini also called her to the 2013 EM squad and used her in three of the four matches.
Also under Bini's successors Philippe Bergeroo and Olivier Echouafni , George was first choice in central defense. Therefore, her nomination for the French squad at the 2015 World Cup was undisputed, where she played all five games over the full time. This makes her the only player who played in all of the 14 French World Cup games during her active time and who did not miss a minute. She was also part of the French squad at the 2016 Olympic football tournament , but then had to give up prematurely due to an injury. After Bergeroo's subsequent replacement by Olivier Echouafni, she was back in the starting line-up in September of that year. In 2017 she was part of the French squad at the European Championships in the Netherlands . After this tournament the Echouafni-made successor Corinne Diacre Laura Georges instead of Wendie Renard even briefly to the captain .
She played her 188th and last A international match for France on March 7, 2018: in this circle, she scored seven goals.
